Names of God

“But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.” (Heb. 8:6)

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Mediator.

Mediator

 ·      Dictionary definition“one who mediates” or more specifically, “one that mediates between parties at variance.”

The word carries the idea of someone who is a go-between for two arguing parties, usually through some sort of compromise.

·      Bible definition: The biblical word does not involve compromise but instead holds a deeper and richer meaning. In the Bible, Christ as Mediator reconciled man and God and is the only One who can mediate to bring about a relationship between God and man. 

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NIV)

Therefore

Jesus’ role as mediator is linked to His sacrificial death on the cross. He is the only One who could bring reconciliation between man and God.

“For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Tim. 2:5)

“and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.” (Heb. 12:24)
