What does it mean that Christ is the mediator of God's covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Christ as the mediator of God's covenant signifies that He fully represents humanity before God and guarantees the fulfillment of God's promises.

In His role as mediator, Jesus Christ bridges the gap between God and humanity, fulfilling the covenant promises established by God. According to Hebrews 9:15, He operates as the mediator of a new covenant that entails the redemption of sins and the assurance of eternal inheritance for believers. By taking on the human nature and bearing our sins in His body, He enabled the reconciliation of man with God. This mediatorial work underscores not only His redeeming sacrifice at the cross but also His continuing intercession on behalf of His people, ensuring that all covenant promises are realized in their fullness (Romans 8:34).
