One Mediator: The LORD Jesus Christ
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1 Tim. 2:5-6 KJV
Because you have the witness of God in your heart, that Christ is alive in you, you have the proof of your direct connection to your Creator that nobody can break.
Christ is the Only Mediator between you and God
The continual fulfilment of many wonderful promises of Christ ensue from this discovery; for example, read Jn. 14:4-14 KJV in the Holy Ghost and rejoice;
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
The disciples heard these words in the flesh, and they floated right over their heads, just as they used to dumbfound us before we were born of God. They couldn’t understand what Christ was saying because they were carnal, just like we were before God opened our spiritual ears and eyes to His Glory in Christ.
But now by the Presence of God’s Spirit inside, we begin to grasp the import of these eternal words from God’s Lips.
- Christ has made us One with Father God: Our Creator.
- We know and see Him in The LORD Jesus Christ.
- We follow Him because He is The Absolute Truth: There is no other.
- Christ is showing Father to us all the time, revealing His Glory, leading us to Greater Glory.
- We have divine ability in Christ to continue His works, by simply obeying His words.
- As we proclaim His words over situations, Father fulfils His words in those situations.
God has spoken: It is so! Amen
Eternal Confidence and Security
Nothing and nobody can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Rom. 8:38-39 KJV;
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
