The "guarantee of a covenant" is a way of making certain that people fulfill the covenant. That is, another person may promise to fulfill the covenant if one of the people fails to fulfill it. Jesus, who is the Son of God, guaranteed a "better" covenant. He did this when he died. This new covenant if "better" because it lasts forever. It is also "better" because it will never be broken. God will never break his promise. Also, Christians now have Jesus as their "guarantee." That is, when they sin, God accepts Jesus' sacrifice to fulfill the new covenant. So, God forgives them of their sins. He does not think that a Christian ends the covenant by sinning. -See: Covenant; Son of God; Crucify (Crucifixion); Fulfill (Fulfillment); Atone (Atonement); New Covenant; [Sin](../articles/sin.md); Sacrifice +See: [Covenant](../articles/covenant.md); Son of God; [Crucify (Crucifixion)](../articles/crucify.md); Fulfill (Fulfillment); Atone (Atonement); New Covenant; [Sin](../articles/sin.md); Sacrifice ### How was Jesus “able to save completely” those who came to God through him?

Scholars think that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice.
