Why do we need a mediator between God and man?

Answered in 1 source

We need a mediator because a holy God cannot commune with sinful humanity without an intermediary who can bridge that gap.

The need for a mediator arises from the fundamental nature of God’s holiness and humanity's sinfulness. Scripture teaches that God is perfectly just and holy, which creates a separation between Him and sinful people. This need is addressed through the mediating work of Jesus Christ, who not only intercedes on our behalf but also offers Himself as the atoning sacrifice that satisfies God’s demands for justice. The author of Hebrews emphasizes that Christ is the only way to restore fellowship with God (Hebrews 5:1-3), making Him essential for believers to experience the fullness of life and relationship that God intends. His mediation is not just a function; it is rooted in His identity and work, making access to God available to all who believe.
