How do we know Jesus is the true mediator between God and man?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the sole mediator because He is both fully God and fully man, essential for our salvation (1 Timothy 2:5).
According to 1 Timothy 2:5, there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. This unique role is rooted in His dual nature as both God and man. Only someone who is divine can bear the full weight of God's justice and provide an effective sacrifice for sin, while at the same time, being human allows Him to identify with our struggles and represent us before the Father. This mediatorial role is a central tenet in sovereign grace theology, affirming that no other beings, be they angels or saints, can fulfill this function. The necessity of Christ's deity and humanity underscores the depth of our need for such a mediator for salvation.
