How does Christ mediate between God and humanity?

Answered in 1 source

Christ mediates between God and humanity by being both fully divine and fully human, establishing peace through His sacrifice.

In Hebrews 8:6, Christ is described as the mediator of a better covenant. This speaks to His unique role in reconciling God and humanity. As the God-man, He is fully capable of interceding for sinners; He has real access to the Father because He is divine, and He can represent humanity accurately because He is fully human. Christ's mediation does not suggest a mere negotiation of terms; rather, He achieves peace through the sacrificial offering of Himself, fulfilling the demands of the Law and the justice of God. This mediation assures believers of a continuous and secure relationship with God, sealed by His blood.
