How do we know the doctrine of mediation is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The doctrine of mediation is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in 1 Timothy 2:5, which states that there is one mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus.

The mediation of Christ is central to the Reformed understanding of salvation. According to 1 Timothy 2:5, Jesus Christ serves as the unique mediator connecting God and man. This is essential because it illustrates that because of sin, humans cannot approach God without a mediator. Jesus fulfills this role perfectly as He embodies both God and man, representing humanity before the Father while satisfying divine justice. The guarantee of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6) further affirms that Christ’s mediation is not just a theoretical concept but a powerful reality that secures the believer's salvation through His sacrificial work. This illustrates the glorious and necessary role Christ plays in reconciling believers to God.
