For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1 Timothy 2:5\u20136<\/strong>
<\/em><\/p>

One of the most fundamental teachings in the Word of God is that there is one God. It is also clear from this verse\u2014and many others\u2014that there is only one Mediator between God and mankind.<\/p>

Job described the need for a mediator when he asked, \u201cBut how can a man be righteous before God?\u201d<\/em> He then went on to say, \u201cNor is there any mediator between us, who may lay his hand on us both\u201d<\/em> (Job 9:1\u20132, 33). This beautifully describes the work of a mediator\u2014one who brings two separated parties together.<\/p>

Sin has separated humanity from God, but the Lord Jesus came into the world to bring us back to God. He alone qualifies as our Mediator because He is the Son of God who became the Son of Man\u2014fully God and fully man, yet without sin. We could do nothing to mediate our own case before God. No amount of good works could make us righteous in His sight, for \u201cwe are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags\u201d<\/em> (Isaiah 64:6).<\/p>

We stand before God as guilty sinners, and this is why we needed a Mediator between God and men. At the Cross, the Lord Jesus stood between a holy God and sinful humanity and, as Job described, laid His hand on us both. He offered Himself once for all as the sacrifice for sin\u2014never to be repeated (Hebrews 7:27; 9:9, 9:28; 10:2).<\/p>

The Lord Jesus is the one Mediator between God and man. Hebrews 9:14\u201315 tells us:
\u201cHow much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

As our Mediator, the Lord Jesus \u201cgave Himself a ransom for all.\u201d<\/em> The word ransom means to pay the price to free a slave<\/em>\u2014and we were slaves to sin. While Christ\u2019s death was sufficient for all, only those who trust in Him receive its saving benefits. Jesus said of Himself, \u201cThe Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many\u201d<\/em> (Matthew 20:28).<\/p>

Are you one of the many? Can you say today, He is my Mediator\u2014He is my Savior?<\/p>

Anchor For Today:<\/strong>
As Mediator, Christ is the One Who came out from God to speak and act for God, and Who went in to God, to act and speak for man.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
