How do we know Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states in 1 Timothy 2:5 that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and men.

The doctrine of Christ as the only mediator between God and man is established in 1 Timothy 2:5, which states, 'For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' This singular mediation underscores the necessity of Christ’s unique dual nature as both divine and human. No one else possesses the ability or authority to bridge the gap created by sin, as only Jesus' sacrificial death can atone for transgressions. This truth is essential for understanding the gospel, as it emphasizes our dependence on Christ for access to God. Mediators such as saints or religious leaders cannot substitute the perfect work of Jesus, which is why believers are called to rely wholly on Him for their salvation and relationship with the Father.
