man”.

(salem means peace).

priesthood.

• Noone can separate us from God’s love.
• God is for us, gave to Jesus in our stead, justifing us.
• The judgment will be for joy and jubilation of the people who
loves God.
• Parakletos is someone who appears in another’s behalf, he is
Jesus Christ.
• Jesus, the One who never sinned, gives his righteousness for
the sinners before God.

Why Christ is considered mediator? 1 Ti 2:4-6.
• The mediator’s rol was to act as arbitrator between two
parties to reach a common goal in order to inaugurate a
covenant.

because he is both God and human.

presence of God (Heb 9:24).
