How do we know Jesus is our mediator in the covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the mediator necessary to establish God's covenant with His people in 1 Timothy 2:5.

The Bible clearly states that Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and humanity, as asserted in 1 Timothy 2:5: 'For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' This mediation is essential for the covenant as it signifies that Christ fulfills all requirements and stands in the gap, interceding for the elect. His role and work as mediator ensure that believers receive God's grace and forgiveness, establishing a permanent covenant relationship that secures their eternal destiny. Through Christ, God's justice is satisfied, and His mercy is extended, making Him indispensable in the covenant of grace.
