🟡 Introduction
All humanity faces God's judgment for sin. Rebellion against God results in judgment unless his justice is satisfied through a Mediator.
🔵 To Satisfy God’s Justice
Although God is merciful, he is also holy, so his justice demands full payment for sin, a debt that must be paid in full.
🟣 A God-Man as Mediator
Humanity cannot save itself, and only a Mediator who is both fully righteous and divine can bear the weight of God’s eternal wrath. Jesus Christ is this God-Man who alone fulfills these requirements.
🟣 One Mediator Between God and His People
Jesus is the one Mediator, Advocate, and Redeemer, reconciling sinners to God through His once-for-all sacrifice.
🟢 Conclusion
Rejoice in Christ, the only Mediator who gives salvation, peace, and eternal joy. He is our Advocate before God’s divine courtroom.
