Why is it important for Christians to understand that Jesus is the only mediator?
Answered in 1 source
Understanding Jesus as the sole mediator emphasizes that our salvation is entirely dependent on Him alone.
The sermon highlights that Christ is the one who mediates between God and man, fulfilling all that is necessary for our salvation. This underscores the importance of relying solely on Jesus for our justification and eternal life, as mentioned in 1 Timothy 2:5. Knowing that Christ is our mediator assures believers that their standing before God is secure through Him, and it significantly influences how they view their relationship with God. It is a reminder that any attempt to add to Christ’s work undermines the completed work of salvation, which is foundational to historic Reformed theology.
