Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant (Hebrews 7:22). A surety is a guarantee. In Bible days, the word surety was used to describe someone who guaranteed another person's debt would be paid. All of us have a sin debt to God. The good news is Jesus paid it all. The surety of every believer is in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We all have a sin debt to God. We have broken God's law. Our conscience testifies as much. The good news is Jesus paid it all. Look to the cross of Jesus, where He died in our place. Our sin debt to God's justice was paid, not in part but the whole. Believers are free from a debt that we could never repay.
Jesus Christ is our surety to the promises of God. In the new covenant, God makes four promises to every believer, guaranteed through Jesus Christ (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:7-13). These promises are: (1) God will put His laws in our mind; (2) God will be our God and we are His people; (3) We will all know the Lord; (4) God will forgive our sins and remember them no more.

Christ is our surety as believers through the gospel. Christ died for our sins. He is risen from the dead for our justification. Wee are children of God by faith in the Lord Jesus (Galatians 3:26). Jesus intercedes for us as believers, that the Father will keep us from the evil one (John 17:15). This is the present day ministry of Jesus, as our High Priest (Hebrews 7:20-25). Jesus shall return to glorify all who believe in Him (1 John 3:2). We are saved by grace through faith in Christ as our surety.
