How do we know Jesus is the only go-between?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is identified as the only go-between because He alone satisfies the requirements of being both God and man.

The necessity of Jesus as the only go-between arises from the vast chasm between a holy God and sinful humanity. Job's longing for a daysman (Job 9:33) illustrates this need for a mediator who can bridge the gap. Jesus fulfills this requirement as He is both fully God and fully man, allowing Him to represent both parties perfectly. Unlike earthly priests who die and are therefore unable to offer everlasting mediation, Jesus, as the eternal High Priest, has made a once-for-all sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:12), which means we can approach God through Him with confidence. His unique nature enables Him to be the sole mediator between God and mankind, validating His role as the only channel through which we can seek reconciliation with God.
