Why is Christ the only mediator?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the only mediator because He reconciles God and His people, fulfilling both sides of the covenant.

Christ is the only mediator between God and men because He uniquely fulfills the requirements of both parties in God's covenant. In Exodus 19:3, Moses acts as a mediator, but he is a foreshadowing of Christ, who mediates a better covenant based on grace rather than works. The Scripture states, 'There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus' (1 Timothy 2:5). Christ's sacrifice was necessary to validate the covenant, and through His death, He reconciles the elect to God, fulfilling the law and making them heirs to the promises of God.
