The exclusivity of Christ as the mediator is established through Scripture, particularly in 1 Timothy 2:5 and the nature of His person and work.
The apostle Paul asserts in 1 Timothy 2:5 that there is only one mediator between God and men, which underscores the exclusive nature of Christ's role in redemption. This scripture, along with others, such as Galatians 3:20, illustrates that Christ mediates not merely by His office but because He embodies both divine and human natures, uniquely qualified to represent both parties. The covenant of grace, which He mediates, is based on His sacrificial work, further affirming that no other figure can fulfill this role. It is through Christ’s atoning sacrifice that believers find reconciliation with God, validating His exclusivity as the mediator.
