How do we know Jesus is the mediator of the better covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the sole mediator of the better covenant because he fully accomplished the redemptive work required for salvation.

In Hebrews 8:6, Jesus is proclaimed as the mediator of a better covenant. This establishes him as the unique intercessor between God and humanity, a role that no other being can fulfill. The Old Covenant, given through Moses, ultimately could not save because it was based on the law, which highlighted human inadequacy to meet its demands. Jesus, by contrast, mediates a New Covenant that guarantees a complete and perfect redemption through his own sacrificial death and resurrection, serving as the advocate whose righteousness is imputed to his people. This underscores the significance of Christ's role in salvation.
