There is One Mediator Between God and Mankind the Man Christ Jesus
In 1 Timothy 2:5 Paul states that there is one mediator between God and mankind the man Christ Jesus. It is important to understand what this verse means and how we can apply it.
In a world that is marred by sin, there is a need for a mediator to bring people back into a right relationship with the holy God. The Lord has sent His Son to serve as the perfect mediator, reconciling us to Him and bringing us into His grace.
This passage is not a new idea, but rather the expression has been used by many biblical writers. It refers to the hypostatic union of a holy God with sinful humanity, mediated through the substitutionary spiritual and physical death of the Son of God on the Cross. This union reveals the fullness of God in His human form as the incarnate Word made flesh (John 1:1-3, 14).
In a world that is marred by cults and denominations, the truth of this Bible verse shines like a beacon to those who have been blinded by false doctrines and misleading interpretations. The Lord has called His Church to be a witness of the truth, and as a part of this calling we too must serve as mediators between God and humanity.
