(1Ti 2:5)  “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (6)  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”  What does it mean, “…to be testified in due time.”?  The day will come when everyone will bow before the risen Jesus and confess, “You are Lord!” It will be an acknowledgement of Him as the ransom for sin they had neglected! NEEDED: Admit He died because of your own sin; ask His forgiveness willing to turn your back on your own desires to sin; then seek to obey Him by living the New Testament Epistles – Romans through Jude. Go to a Baptist Church.

 (1Ti 2:5)  “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (6)  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”  The Mediator bridges the gap between the sinner and his Holy God. He paid the ransom of blood (death) for the sinner and clothed that sinner with His Own righteous life. The Holiness of God sees now that sinner “in Christ” allowing him to approach and fellowship with his God! Oh, what a Savior! Oh, what a God to devise such a way to save the undeserving!

(1Ti 2:5)  “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”    Jesus Christ is alive today! He rose again from the dead! This Scripture plainly says there is only one mediator – not many. No one has been assigned of the Lord to take His place. I cannot for you ask the Lord to save you and you thus receive; you must ask the Mediator, the Lord Jesus, yourself. No priest has power over your soul, no minister, no pastor, no one but Jesus! If you do not get saved in this life, all the prayers in the world won’t release you from hell once you die! Come on your knees to Jesus!

 (1Ti 2:5)  “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”   Mediator: “one who lays hands on both parties to bring them together”. Job bewailed the lack: (Job 9:32) “For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. (33)  Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.”  Our God’s precise usage of words, “daysman”, is why He so accurately emphasizes Christ’s humanity in our verse, “…the man Christ Jesus”!Thank God, as God the Son, He embodied the form of a child and lived, died, and rose again to save us. He is my Mediator, my Daysman! For more, come to www.thirstingsouls.com where you will find teaching and preaching.

(1Ti 2:5)  “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”  One God. In my lifetime it has been repeatedly said, “We all worship the same God.” By this, they mean even though we do not agree as to doctrine, that’s all right, we still worship the same God. Friend, what you believe as far as the Bible is concerned is the difference between heaven and hell. The salvation of the soul requires an experience of rebirth, not at a forced time of age, but as individuals recognizing what their practice of sin cost the Savior, and with a desire to turn from it asking forgiveness. Then, and only then, does God given eternal life in response to what HE sees as genuine. Consider: in Acts (an historical book), you only see adults getting saved.

(1 Ti 2:3b) “…..in the sight of God our Saviour; (4)  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”   God our Savior! Jesus proclaimed that He and the Father are one. In John Chapter 1 it is written, “In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” God the Savior died for the “world” (Jn 3:16) which means He bore the sins of all men on the cross. The price has been paid. All that is left is for men to repent of their sin and embrace Him for mercy and forgiveness! He is the Savior!

  (1 Ti 2:3b) “…..in the sight of God our Saviour; (4)  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”   Once a person has been born again, adopted into the family of God, there is spiritual growth to maturity that only comes through living “by every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.” That Word is only found in the Bible – “the knowledge of the truth”. It is complete. There is no new revelation taking place today. Go to the Word of God and grow as you obey.

(1 Ti 2:3b) “…..in the sight of God our Saviour; (4)  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”  There are some who teach God “elected” some to be saved and some to be lost. I have no trouble excepting that the Lord has the right to do as He pleases – He is God Almighty. Yet, we understand and embrace God as He has revealed Himself to be. Before us, he plainly says His desire for man is that they would each be saved. Both teachings cannot stand together. God has not “elected” some to be lost. A lost man’s choice brings him to that position.

(1Ti 2:1)  “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2)  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (3)  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;” Verse 3 is the reason for all obedience. We understand that we live in the sight of our Savior and wish to please Him in every area of our lives! May it be so in your life and mine.

(1Ti 2:1) “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2)  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” In my limited knowledge, I see dishonesty taking place for one of two reasons – to deceive or to protect self (pride). I would expect among believers that the latter is more prevalent than the former. Dishonesty to protect self should be confessed to whom we have deceived no matter the cost to ourselves. This is the only way the Lord can bless us.
