What is the role of Christ as the mediator in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ serves as the mediator who intercedes for believers, ensuring their acceptance before God.

In Revelation 8, Christ is depicted as the Angel of the Covenant, standing at the altar to mediate the prayers of the saints, as seen in verses 3-4. This illustrates His role as the intercessor who offers up the believers’ prayers, symbolizing their continuous access to God based on His merits. The altar represents the sacrifice He made for their reconciliation. This role underscores the Reformed understanding of salvation as entirely reliant on Christ's work, reinforcing that believers' prayers and worship are accepted not because of their merit but solely through the righteousness of Christ imputed to them.
