A surety
is a person, company, or financial promise that guarantees a debt, a
performance, or an action will be fulfilled. If the main person fails to
pay a debt or finish a job, the surety takes legal responsibility to
cover it. Surety also means a state of total certainty or a money
deposit for bail.
Jesus
Christ is Surety for His people (Heb 7:22), those
the Father gave Him to save (Jn 6:38-39; 10:26-29; 17:2-3). We are all
guilty of
every crime (sin) imaginable, but He took the full cost and paid the
complete price for our pardon. He finished the legal transaction,
and His Father accepted all those chosen in Him in eternity (Eph 1:3-6).
There
is not a chance a single one will be lost (Rom 8:32-35; 5:10). It
means that once you are reconciled and stay reconciled to God through
Jesus Christ, your ultimate salvation is completely guaranteed, and
nothing can cause you to lose it.
After
your Surety Bond has been registered in the Kingdom of Heaven and you
have been set free from the bondage of sin and death, don't be like a
dog or a pig.
As it is written: If
men have escaped from the world’s contamination through knowing our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and then become entangled and defeated
all over again, their last position is far worse than their first. It
would be better for them not to have known the way of goodness at all,
rather than after knowing it to turn their backs on the sacred
commandments given to them. Alas, (sadly) for them, the old proverbs have come
true about ‘a dog returns to his own vomit’, and “the sow that had been
washed going back to wallow in the muck”. ~ 2 Peter 2:22 (Phillips translation)
Once
you make bail (reconciled), is it too much to be grateful and walk the
strait and narrow way, a lifestyle of strict honesty, good morals, and
Godly behavior?
"This is the way, walk in it" comes from the Bible, specifically Isaiah 30:21. It means that God promises to guide you when you make choices. When you're confused or about to make a wrong turn, God provides clear direction on the correct path to follow.How You Hear God?
