How do we know that Jesus is the one mediator between God and man?

Answered in 1 source

1 Timothy 2:5 states that Jesus is the sole mediator, reflecting His unique dual nature as fully God and fully man.

The Bible clearly affirms that Jesus is the one mediator between God and humanity through the statement in 1 Timothy 2:5. This designation is crucial because only one who is both fully divine and fully human can effectively mediate between the two parties. Christ, as the one person with two natures, bridges the gap created by sin, enabling believers to approach God. The historical understanding transcends mere titles; it underlines the necessity of Christ's nature in mediating grace and accepting worship on behalf of believers, reinforcing that our access to God is through Him alone.
