"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 2:5-6). A mediator brings two parties together who are in disagreement. God's disagreement with us is on one issue alone. That is our sin. There is only one Mediator with God. Jesus is the only one!
God the Father gave His Son as the one and only Mediator of mercy, grace and love (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ is rejecting God's mercy, grace and love. Jesus is the one and only Mediator between God and man, because He alone is the God-Man, fully God and fully man, incarnate deity.
Jesus gave Himself as our ransom at the cross. He is the gift of God the Father, who alone has paid the price to set believers free from condemnation and wrath (John 3:18, 36; Romans 8:1). Here we clearly see why Jesus is the only Mediator with God. Jesus giving Himself for sinners at the cross is grace so amazing. Grace is the gift of God's unmerited favor for us (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Jesus Christ is the only Mediator through the everlasting covenant. He works in believers to do what is well pleasing to God (Hebrews 13:20-21). God the Father is well pleased in His only begotten Son. We can only please God when His Son Jesus works in us and through us to the praise of His glory.
