The Great Mediator

A Mediator is one who comes between two contending parties to remove the cause of contention and restore them to friendship and fellowship. There is One God, and One Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a Ransom for all (I Timothy 2:5-6). Jesus excludes everyone else, Jesus is the only One that forgive sins. God Incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth came down to earth to be the great Mediator and Ransom. Jesus stepped in between God as an offended Judge and man as a guilty sinner to pacify God's wrath and to restore sinful man to God's favor. Man by nature is a child of disobedience, a child of wrath, an enemy of God, sinful and dead in trespasses and sins. Jesus was the Ransom that sets sinners free from the slavery and penalty of their sins. A Ransom is the price that is paid to free someone from captivity. Every man by nature is in captivity to Satan and sin. All have sinned and are under sin's awful tyranny and dominion. The Redeemer paid the full price on Calvary's Cross with His most Precious Blood. *Genesis 44:34; John 17:24*

The Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to come safely before the Eternal Holy Creator God; it's not the Pope, or Muhammad, or the Dalai Lama, or Joseph Smith, or any other sinner. Asking Muhammad to help you with your sin is like asking Bozo the clown to help you with your terminal cancer. God only became a Man one time in history. His name was Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Only Christ died for the ungodly. Someone must answer to God for your sins. You were born in sin, you’ve sinned your whole life, and you will sin till you die. If your sin and its guilt are not transferred to Christ, you must pay for your sins forever in hell. Sinners needed a sinless man to come and bear their guilt and die in their place. Christ obeyed the law of God perfectly for you and satisfied the justice of the law by dying for your sins on the Cross. You need Christ’s Righteousness to enter Heaven’s gate.

A mediator is a go-between who works to bring about Reconciliation between two estranged parties. God and man are estranged, and by nature we are all under God's wrath and judgment. We cannot make appeasement for ourselves. Jesus is the exclusive Mediator (I Timothy 2:5). Jesus created man, and then He became a man, and then He died for all sinners on Calvary's Cross. Jesus' perfect Atonement and resurrection is all sufficient to save you now. Christ's blood took care of our debt to God once for all. He bore God's wrath for our sins. Christ's perfect Righteousness is credited to believing sinners. In Christ, the believer has direct access to God. Christ Jesus is the Daysman (mediator) betwixt sinful man and a holy God who can lay His hand upon both parties (Job 9:33).

God is a holy God, a consuming fire, He is a pure and perfect Being who dwells in unapproachable light. JEHOVAH JESUS is so holy that He cannot stand to look upon Sin. Man on the other hand is sinful, wicked, and anything but holy. For this reason man is estranged from his Maker. You need a Mediator. We were created to worship and enjoy your Creator; but because of your sin, you cannot even approach Him, much less find your soul’s satisfaction in Him. For this reason, you need a Mediator, a perfect and holy Substitute, who can go between you and God Almighty. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - He died for his ungodly enemies, even you. We need Someone who fulfilled the holy Law on our behalf, and met all the Law’s strict demands perfectly, and assuaged the wrath of God in our place. This is exactly what Jesus has done for all sinners, especially you. You have to admit you are nothing but a sinner, and that you are inadequate and unable to help save yourself at all. And you don’t like that, so you try to create alibis and excuses to neglect and reject Jesus Christ, because you love yourself and you insanely cling to your sins and self-righteousness.

You cannot please God because you have a sinful nature. Jesus has pleased God for us. Christ has accomplished absolute holiness in our stead and will lead us and protect us in the presence of God, so that we may worship and enjoy our Maker without fear of condemnation. Jesus Christ willingly exchanged His life for yours – He is the only Savior for sinners. If you reject Christ, you reject God Himself, and you have no hope of salvation. Jesus is the only way that your badness can be forgiven and be put away out of God’s sight forever. Your sin must be transferred to the Crucified God - the Lord Jesus Christ. Your wickedness must be credited (imputed) to the only crucified and living Savior. The Goodness of God (Jesus Christ) must be credited to your soul, or you will perish in your sins.

Joseph Smith, Muhammad, and Buddha’s ways just a few paths to hell that the devil has made for blind, lost self-righteous sinners to follow in. Turn from your love of sin and yourself, REPENT, turn to the living God, and trust only in the atoning Sacrifice and resurrection of the Blessed Savior. Go straight away to the Mediator, rely only on His precious blood, not your human merit and self-improvement. If you try to help save yourself by doing better or getting baptized, you're doomed. Trust in Christ now, not yourself. There is One God and One Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.

All have sinned, the soul that sinneth, it shall die eternally. You have sinned against God, and now you must die an eternal death. You have sinned and broken God’s law many times. You have lied, stolen, cheated, lusted, and rejected Christ. The wrath of God abides on you now. Your good works are no good and filled with selfishness. But there’s good news: Christ Jesus suffered the wrath of God in your place and rose again the third day. The very best you can do will land you in hell. Your sin or your religion is not worth going to hell over. Run to Jesus now by faith, flee from the wrath of God. God is ready to pardon you today. Jesus only saves real sinners that realize they are hopeless and hell-bound.

Jesus took on Himself all your guilt for your sins against God. Jesus suffered the eternal death penalty for you. Jesus Christ wants to give you His own perfect relationship with God. Christ was made a curse for you (He endured the wrath of God), He did put upon Himself your sinfulness, and laid your sins upon His own shoulders, saying, “I willingly take the blame and shame for the sins which you have committed. I will die in your place and die your death. If you trust in Me, you can now go free, free from judgment and hell, you can now enjoy God and Heaven through My perfect Righteousness.” Jesus did this not by constraint, but of His own good will, it behooved Him to bear your sin’s punishment, the wrath of God; not for His sins, but for your sins. Christ died in your sins, so you could be forgiven freely. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Ye must be born again. Jesus is the Advocate, the Surety, the Substitute for sinners. Jesus bore your sins in His own body on the tree, and He bore the blame for those sins forever.

Jesus makes a glorious Exchange with us sinners. He took upon Him our sinfulness, and He gives unto us His innocent nature, that is, His righteousness. We being clothed with His eternal goodness are freed forever from the curse and condemnation of the law. Christ says, “As touching My own person, I am blessed and need nothing, but I will humble Myself, and will put upon Me your sinfulness; that is to say your human sin, and I will die in your sins, and suffer your eternal death, to deliver you from the wrath of God freely. Only trust in Me, and I will save you. Please come to Me now and exchange your sin for My Righteousness.” There is only One Mediator, His name is Christ Jesus, and He bled for you. Empty your hands of all merits, take God's gift, and come by the Blood of Jesus Christ, the only way. Through Jesus' name all that believe shall receive the remission of sins.

Christ Jesus bore the guilt of your sin; He suffered the punishment which you ought to have suffered for your sins against God. So now, if you believe on Him, that is, trust that Christ was punished for you, you can never ever be punished for your sins. God cannot punish the same sin twice, that would be unjust. God didn’t turn away His wrath on human sin, but He poured it all out on His Son on Calvary; God did not ignore your sin-debt, but it was paid for in drops of God’s precious blood from Christ’s veins. Christ shed God’s blood so that you would be spared from the wrath of hell-fire. Jesus tasted death for you; He has an interest in you. He died especially for you. Look away from yourself, turn from sin, just look unto Jesus now, only His Precious Blood can wash your sins away. God humbled Himself and became a sinless Jewish man and bled and died for your sins. Simply and wholly place your trust in what Jesus did for you. All you have to do now is come to the Cross by faith and take receipt freely, and you can go free from the love of sin forever. Trust the Great Mediator and Ransom.
