Mediator

2023-01-21

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5)

There is only one way to know or have access to God the Father, and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son. It is blasphemous to say otherwise. He is the mediator of the new covenant (Hebrews 9:15; 12:24), which is the better covenant: “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises” (Hebrews 8:6).

The old covenant had a mediator, Moses (Deuteronomy 5:5). The new, better testament brought us eternal salvation and was not brought to us by a mere man. “Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one” (Galatians 3:20). God Himself, the Son of God, could only ever be the true mediator between God and humankind, because all else are sinners who cannot truly enter the presence of God the Father.
