Christ, Our Mediator
Hebrews 9:15
“For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance – now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.”
Hebrews 9:11-14
v. 11 When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. v. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. v. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. v. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
Romans 5:9 – 11
v. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! v. 10 For if, when we were God enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! v. 11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – 21
v. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! v. 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. v. 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. v. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. v. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
