Christ our Surety - Greatly Rejoice

What Did Christ Our Surety Accomplish?  He reconciled us to God in His sin-atoning death. He entered into Heaven as our Covenant-Head and claimed our eternal inheritance in our name, as our Surety. Also, He will, in the last day, present all of His elect faultless before the Father’s glory with exceeding great joy. In that day, He will appear without sin. Also, those that are in Him will also appear without sin.  His Father will say again, " Well done!"   And it's written,  "By so much was Jesus made a Surety of a better testament" (Hebrews 7:22). Friends, Christ our Surety is all of my righteousness and justification before God. Christ is all my salvation. He is my comfort and assurance. He is my motivation to obey God. And He is my hope of eternal life forever more. Christ is All to this poor sinner.   -brother Jim Casey
