How is Jesus Christ the only mediator between God and men?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ is the sole mediator as He uniquely fulfills the requirements for reconciliation between God and humanity.

The New Testament clearly presents Jesus Christ as the only mediator between God and men, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:5. His role as mediator is rooted in His unique dual nature as God and man. No one else can bridge the gap between the holy God and sinful humanity; only Jesus, who is without sin, can represent both sides. This necessity underscores that all access to God is through Him alone, emphasizing the exclusivity of faith in Christ for salvation. Ultimately, this assurance means that through Christ, all believers are accepted before the Father, highlighting the centrality of His role in salvific history.
