What does the Bible say about Mary and her role in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Mary is honored as the mother of Jesus but is not to be idolized or considered a mediator.

In the context of sovereignty and grace, Mary is recognized as a blessed woman chosen by God to bear Christ but remains a sinner needing salvation just like all humanity. The Catholic Church's elevation of her status to that of a mediator or co-redemptress is a misunderstanding of biblical doctrine, as there is only one mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus. Mary's primary role is that of the human mother of Christ's sinless humanity; she is not divine and should not be revered beyond what Scripture presents. Luke 1:28 illustrates her blessedness, but this does not equate to sinlessness or mediatorial qualities.
