How do we know that Jesus is a true mediator?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is affirmed as the true mediator in 1 Timothy 2:5, as He is both God and man.

Hebrews 5 teaches that Jesus became our high priest through divine appointment, meaning His credentials as mediator come from God Himself. This is echoed in 1 Timothy 2:5, which states, 'For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' This emphasizes that Jesus, being fully divine and fully human, is uniquely qualified to mediate between God and humanity. His mediatory work addresses our sin and secures our acceptance before God, fulfilling what the Old Testament priests symbolized but could not achieve completely. His eternal priesthood guarantees ongoing intercession for believers, reassuring us of His ability to save to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25).
