Why is recognizing Christ as our mediator important?

Answered in 1 source

Christ as our mediator is essential because only through Him can we stand before a holy God.

Recognizing Christ as our mediator is crucial for understanding how we can approach a holy God. In the sermon, it is emphasized that those who looked into the Ark of the Covenant were struck down because they did not have a mediator to shield them from God's holy law. Just as the Ark contained the Law, we too are exposed to God's holiness without Christ. Only those who have accepted Him—who plead His blood and are clothed in His righteousness—can approach God and stand before Him. This concept underscores the necessity of faith in Christ for salvation and acceptance before God.
