Tabatha Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 7:22) What is a guarantee or surety? In what sense is Jesus the guarantor of the New Covenant? A Guarantee or surety, ( The Dictionary says ) One who warrents, or gives a formal assurance or guaranty, as for the fulfilment of obligations; also, the giving of a guaranty; the assuming of responsibility for the fulfilment of some obligation, the truth of a statement, etc; also, a warrant, pledge, or formal assurance given by way of security, ( as, goods stamped with the maker's guarantee, as for genuineness, quality, or durability. ( We are stamped with the Holy Spirit ) My thought. "Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant." or surety." This " better covenant" is also called the new covenant or testament. It is new and better because it allows us to go directly to God through Christ. We no longer need to rely on sacrificed animals and mediating priests to obtain God's forgiveness. This new covenant is better because, while all human priests die, Christ lives forever. Priests and sacrifices could not save people, but Christ truly saves. You have access to Christ. He is available to you 24 hours around the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helenmm Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 7:22) What is a guarantee or surety? In what sense is Jesus the guarantor of the New Covenant? A surety is a promise of payment, should the person who owes money default Parents may go guarantor for their children to make a major purchase. However, should the child not be able to pay, the parent or guarantor will be required to pay, even if it costs their own property. Jesus was appointed our guarantor before the beginning of time, and indeed He took us on, knowing full well that He would have to pay. Sin leads to death as it did with Cain and Abel, and death is the spilling of blood. (The spilling of blood is like the logo for all forms of sin.) How much blood has been spilt over the centuries and millenia? Yet Jesus' blood is able to cover all this, should a man repent. So, in due time, He paid for sin, and blood spilt through sin, with His own blood on Calvary, and with His blood He will advocate in the heavenly places for those who repent of sin and submit (actively and passionately) to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Such people can receive through Him their miraculous renewal as sons of Yahweh in the realm of the eternal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charisbarak Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 A surety or guarantee is a promise of the fulfilling of a debt owed. Jesus, Himself, is our guarantor--He promises the fulfilment of the new covenant with us. He is preparing a place for us in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJeff Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 A guarantee is that the debt will be paid by the guarantor. Jesus paid the debt for our sin on calvary and as our High Priest He continually intercedes on our behalf. Thus He is the final sacrifice and the last High Priest, fulfilling the Old Covenant and paying the guarantee due on the New. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masika Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Guarantee or Surety is a security or safety given to stand as foundation of stability or support in Court of law. Christ is the Guarantee of the New Covenant in that He undertook to make atonement for the sins of all people, and thus prepare the way to deliver all people from the pnishment to which they had rendered themselves liable.

Loisb Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Q2. (a) A guarantee is a promise, an assurance, to make oneself answerable for something. If something is guaranteed, you know that it will be completed. (b ) Jesus has promised to save us by dying on the cross and he kept his promise. He also said that we would find a home in heaven if we live right, so he has guaranteed to see us there and he never breaks his promise.

Craig Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 If a guarantee or surety is to mean anything, it must be an obligation of some kind that is answerable for. If is there is no accountability for a guarantee it is not a guarantee. Jesus is guarantor of the New Covenant by His Name, word and what He did on the cross.

Stan Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 7:22) What is a guarantee or surety? In what sense is Jesus the guarantor of the New Covenant? It is something or someone that can cause something that has been promised to come true or be fulfilled. Jesus is our guarantor because He rose from the dead, as He said He would and sat down at the Father's right hand where He can fulfill His promise to bring us to where He is and that means that we will rise from the dead or be taken up when He come back for His own. He is our surety because He is god and can not lie as His word says and by dieing for our sin we are sure of our salvation because His word says we can be.

June Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 It is a promise to fulfill an obligation. To be answerable for the situation which one guarantees.

PCHRIS Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 A surety is a sureness, certainity - something that makes sure; guarantee - one who becomes a guarantor for another person - bond, bail, security for loan. In secular dealings the surety is related to another person, here in Hebrews it is relating to the covenant, that Jesus guarantees that the covenant will be honoured. In v19 the writer tells us that this new covenant will bring in a better hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPHEN ROSS Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 A Guarantor is someone who agrees to be responsible for any debts,or any agreements made on behalf of another person. Jesus has become our Gaurantor as he took on our sins so that we would not have to bear the punishment we so rightly deserved. In other words he stood in the gap,so we would not have to take the punishment directed towards man. The Gaurantee of the New Covenant was made through the shedding of the blood of Jesus.

Ms CJ Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 7:22) What is a guarantee or surety? In what sense is Jesus the guarantor of the New Covenant? What is a guarantee or surety? * "Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant." "Guarantee" (NIV, NRSV) or "surety" (KJV) is egguos, "under good security, guarantee."13 This word in common Greek "is found frequently in legal and other documents in the sense of a surety or guarantor. The egguous [guarantor] undertakes a weightier responsibility than the mesitēs or mediator; he is answerable for the fulfillment of the obligation which he guarantees." In what sense is Jesus the guarantor of the New Covenant? * Far more than a human high priest, Jesus himself is responsible to bring about the New Covenant -- and did on the cross. At his return he will usher in the Kingdom in all its glory and the New Heaven and New Earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eudora Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 7:22) What is a guarantee or surety? Something that assures a particular outcome like our promise of eternal life. We have that in writing. In what sense is Jesus the guarantor of the New Covenant? He left His last will and testament to us, His children. We read it daily. If we do not read it, how will we know what our inheritance is? He is our inheritance. Like my commentary reads here in my New Living Translation Bible: This " better covenant" is also called the new covenant or testament. It is new and better because it allows us to go directly to God through Christ. We no longer need to rely on sacrificed animals and mediating priests to obtain God's forgiveness. This new covenant is better because, while all human priests die, Christ lives forever. Priests and sacrifices could not save people, but Christ truly saves. You have access to Christ.

Don W Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 The guarantor or surety is the one who has the ultimate responsibility to fulfill the obligation or covenant by law, and if the one owing on the legal contract (or covenant) is unable to pay the obligation off, the guarantee must pay it off instead.
