”For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” | 2 Timothy 1: 12

Who is able and capable of rendering perfect satisfaction to the Law of God?

Who is qualified to meet the demands of Divine justice?

Who is competent to assume the responsibilities of a sinful people to pay all their sin-debts?

Who is willing to be their Surety and sacrifice for sin? Who has the power to redeem from all transgression?

Clearly the only solution to these problems and the only answer to these questions is the Lord Jesus Christ.

He alone is able.

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7: 25)

He alone is qualified to meet all the demands of the holy law.

“The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.” (Isaiah 42: 21)

He alone was manifested to put away sin. “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.” (1 John 3: 5)

“As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.” (John 17: 2)

He alone has all power to save and redeem from all transgressions. “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.” (Hebrews 7: 22)

“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” (John 10: 17-18)

He alone was willing to be our Saviour and Surety.
