There is one God

There is one God


"There is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—the Man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5

There is one peacemaker between God and men—the Lord Jesus Christ. In His Divine nature He is one with the Father—and in His human nature is one with man, only perfectly without sin. And being on an equality with God, and being also truly man—He is well fitted to mediate between the just and holy God and guilty men.

In His mediatorial work He has, on the one hand, had the fullest regard to the claims of Divine justice, righteousness, and truth; and, on the other hand, to the salvation, the happiness, and the eternal security of His people.

He perfectly obeyed the law of God, as the representative of all who trust in Him, and by the sacrifice of Himself made a complete atonement for their sins.

He is full of pity and tender mercy; and, with human sympathy, He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He is the Mediator of "the new covenant"—the covenant of grace. It is through Him that all its rich provisions and inestimable privileges are enjoyed.

Rejoice, my soul, that you have "one Mediator," and such a one as Jesus Christ the righteous. He has made peace by the blood of His cross, and by Him you have freedom of access, at all times, to the Father of mercies!
