Why is it important for Christians to believe in Christ as our mediator?

The role of Christ as our mediator is pivotal in Reformed theology. As the sole mediator between God and men, Jesus uniquely fulfills this role by being both fully divine and fully human (1 Timothy 2:5). This means He can represent humanity's plight before God while also possessing the authority of God to intercede. His sinlessness qualifies Him to bear our sins as our substitute, making reconciliation with God possible. Without understanding Christ's mediatorial role, Christians would lack the assurance needed to approach God confidently, as it is only through Him that we can be accepted and justified. Thus, faith in Christ as our mediator is foundational for our relationship with God and our standing before Him.
