– Hebrews 7:22 – Don Fortner
In the covenant of grace, before the world began, the Lord Jesus Christ voluntarily offered himself to be our Surety. He willingly took on himself all the responsibilities and liabilities of his covenant people. He is our Surety in an absolute sense. He agreed to do for us whatever God required of us for our eternal salvation. And God the Father accepted his Son as our Surety. Now, as soon as Christ became our Surety, God ceased to look to us and hold us responsible to satisfy his demands. He looks to Christ our Surety. God holds our Surety responsible to satisfy his demands for us. That being true, my heart rejoices, because “he shall not fail!”
