What does it mean that Jesus is the mediator of the New Testament?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus as the mediator of the New Testament signifies that He is the guarantor of the covenant of grace established through His death.

In biblical terms, a mediator is not merely a negotiator between warring parties but one who guarantees the fulfillment of an agreement. Hebrews 9:15 describes Christ as the mediator of the New Testament, emphasizing that He secures the blessings of this new covenant through His death. This mediation ensures that all who are called receive the benefits of salvation—eternal redemption, forgiveness, and righteousness. Unlike the Old Testament sacrifices, which were temporary and could not truly atone for sin, Christ's sacrifice is sufficient and complete, upholding divine justice while offering grace. His role as mediator gives believers confidence that their salvation is assured in Him.
