Christ is our mediator, as affirmed in scripture, bridging the gap between God and humanity.
The need for a mediator is a central theme illustrated in the book of Job. Job himself cried out for an advocate to plead his case before God, highlighting the gulf between divine justice and human frailty. The New Testament confirms that Jesus Christ fulfills this role, serving as the one mediator between God and men (1 Timothy 2:5). Through His sacrificial death, He satisfied the demands of justice and secured our reconciliation with God. The assurance of His mediatorial work is rooted in His perfect obedience and righteousness, which are imputed to believers, making us acceptable before God. This truth is foundational to the Christian faith and our salvation.
