1Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
If I ask you: How is your situation with God…? what is your relationship with him…? What would you respond?
Many people answer this question affirmatively saying:- IT IS VERY WELL.
But if you ask a second question: Are you a repented sinner with a heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus… with a new life, given by God? In this case the answer is no longer a sure one because in general people don’t know the function of Christ as MEDIATOR between God and man. Without Him there is no possible relationship.
There is no communion between natural man and sin, with a Holy God. There is a deep valley that separates both and is IMPOSSIBLE TO CROSS, unless there is a BRIDGE which unites them: JESUS CHRIST.
We can’t say that we are ok with a person that lives in another hemisphere, and that we never knew. In this way, anyone that does not know the work of salvation that Christ did on the cross cannot affirm that they are "ok with God". Actually they would be…"very far" from God.
Because of this, our situation with God is not what our carnal minds create erroneously, now that human nature is to try to invent a nonexistent communion with God… so then the question to God our Creator: "Am I ok with you?" which would never have been thought of, is answered.
If we want to truly go to God let’s put attention to the words of Christ:
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
No one can come unto God the Father, unless they go through God the Son.
Jesus Christ possess in His encarnation, the double nature of divinity and human. This constitutes the only mediator between God and men.
His expiatory sacrifice in the cross on mount Calvary spilling His blood all because of his love for us. No person can get close to God unless they accept the sacrifice of Christ, ask forgiveness for their sins and believe with faith in the MEDIATOR. I AM THE WAY SAID CHRIST: No one can go that way as long as they continue carrying the same sins, with a heart that has not repented.
They that think they are self-sufficient and do not need to change their lives, don’t use the safe and sure way of Christ the MEDIATOR. All our sins before Jesus are undone, and we begin to follow the new path of sanctification, of spiritual life, and communion with God.!
Because of this let’s not deceive ourselves: we cannot get to God by our own means… but rather we should utilize the path of salvation that He proposes by His word, the Bible.Jesus Christ man, with a hand grasping in Heaven God and with the other grasping man on the earth, is the MEDIATOR of humanity.
Poor lost human creatures! What would they do without a MEDIATOR!
Who would save them from death and hell!
Grab hold of the hand of Christ and feel His holiness and His love… deliver your life unto Him!
I ask you again: How are you with God?
I hope you response is: Now I am well… Jesus Christ is my MEDIATOR!
Hebrews 9:15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
