Jesus is our mediator because he paid the sacrificial price that was set by God and the only way a person can come before the Father is through Jesus Christ our Mediator.

Jesus is the true ransom the sacrificial Lamb for all mankind to experience, the joy of knowing that Jesus paid a price that no man could pay in full.

Jesus is the "Bridge" who stretched Himself across the chasm of sin separating fallen man and a Holy God, removing the separation and reopening the access Adam and Eve had before they fell.

In what sense is Jesus a ransom from sin?

Jesus precious, sinless, shed blood, death, resurrection was the price or ransom God required, that bought fallen man back from Satan, so we once again belong to God...those who choose to be chosen and receive Christ as Lord and Savior.

Jesus serves as mediator for us through His blood that he shed at Calvary.

With His blood, the ransom was paid to God for our freedom from sure death because of our sins. Christ, the mediator, put us back in a right relationship with God, our Father, and now we can go to Him for favor.

Jesus as a mediator is the one who intervenes between God and us. He is the one who makes or restores our peace and friendship with God. By His death on the cross, He removes the obstacle (our sin) which caused this separation. It is when we as sinners accept the merits of the sacrifice our Lord made that the guilt and penalty of our sin is no more. The power of sin in our life is broken, and we become the recipient of the divine nature, and the estrangement between ourselves and God disappears.

A ransom is the price paid to redeem someone from bondage or captivity. Jesus said of himself,

Jesus surpasses all laws. He is The Man Christ Jesus. He gave Himself for ALL! You can only get salvation from one God, and the only way to Him is thru Jesus. Jesus understands us perfectly and represents us at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus gave Himself freely for our sins dying on that cross, shedding His blood which in turn He is held in ransom for our sins, because without Him we would not be free of our sins or have the gift of eternal life. :rolleyes:

God and humanity weere at odds (estranged) because of sin - Jesus, as a sacrifice for our sins, removed this estrangement affording us (humanity as a whole) the opportunity and the right to come back into the presence of God. . .

Humanity was held captive by Satan because of sin. Sin has a consequnce which is death. Jesus became our sacrifice and by His death atoned for our sins - setting us free. . .

Mark 10:45 (NKJV)

45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

1 Timothy 2:6 (NKJV)

6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

John 3:16-18 (NKJV)

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Romans 5:6-19 (NKJV)

6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--

13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.

17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

18 Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. B)

[/quot

God provided the ransom- Jesus- to buy back, to put back in relationship with God himself. Jesus is the way, the truth, the life by which he our mediator is the only way back to the Father. Jesus' shed blood and death and taking on my sins and the penalty for my sins is the ransom to set me free from the sins done under the first covenant

Christ mediates the relationship between God and the people by his sacrifical death and ongoing intercession. His blood forgives the sins of all who repent and believe and His blood ransons all believers from the power of Satan and evil powers.

Jesus died and shed His blood, so that He could become a sacrifice for our sins, and also He could become a an arbitrator between us and God. He accomplished so much for us through His death

1) Jesus serves as a mediator because He is the one that has brought God and us together. We were seprated from God by sin and Jesus sacrifice brought new life to man.

2) Jesus is a ransome from sin because He gave His life so I might live.

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” Jesus is the only one who can serve as the mediator between sinful man and a Holy God because of man’s sinfulness. He ransomed us back from sin with His life and the shedding of His blood. He is both God and man and brought new life to everyone.

Jesus serves as mediator between man and God. He has become the one who draws us together, by his own sacrifice for our sins. Sin kept man separated from God, Jesus has brought us together, man and God.

In order for Jesus to become the mediator between God and man, he offered his self by dying on the cross, to pay the ransom for which sin kept hold of us. We were slaves to sin, unacceptable to a Holy God, through Christ deliverance we are set free from sins death hold, we can now approach the Holy of Holy's and God.

Jesus is our mediator to be in the presence of God. There is only way to be redeemed backed to God from sin and that is through Jesus Christ. We must believe and confess our sins to him  in order for God to hear and forgive because that is what is required by God.  Jesus was born in flesh as a ransom for us to be forgiven of sin, so that we could be worthy to be with God. God will not allow sin to reign in his people for he is sinless and expects us to be sinless also.  We are to be washed in the blood of the lamb (Christ) in order to receive external life with God the father. We are to live a life of holiness and free of sin in order to be worthy enough to serve him. We were made to worship God and we are to do that free of sin. God has made a way for us to do that, and that is through his only son, Jesus Christ.   " For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believe on him shall have every lasting life.  For God sent not his son to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved".

Jesus is the mediator for us in the fact He is the only one who can truly could die on a cross at Calvary and pay the cost for our sins and buy us back from the kingdom of darkness to redeem us. He is the only true bridge to gap the mighty gulf between us and God. The Lord is a ransom for many because He purchased us back from the kingdom of darkness and placed into the kingdom of light.

He made peace between us and God by taking the punishment for our sins. 

Because He paid our ransom for our slavery to sin. So we are free to live for God.
