Charles Finney emphasizes the vital role of Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity, explaining that a mediator reconciles conflicting parties and is essential when a controversy exists. He outlines the qualifications necessary for a mediator, including understanding the controversy, possessing the confidence of both parties, and being willing to fulfill the conditions for reconciliation. Finney applies these principles to Christ, illustrating how His dual nature as both God and man uniquely qualifies Him to mediate between the offended God and sinful humanity. He urges listeners to accept Christ's mediatorial work and fulfill the conditions of repentance and faith for salvation, highlighting the urgency of making a decision regarding their relationship with God.

Octavius Winslow emphasizes the singularity of Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity, underscoring that salvation is a divine embodiment of God Himself. He articulates that the essence of God's character and attributes are fully manifested in the work of salvation, which is so profound that adding any human effort to it would be a grave error. Winslow asserts that only Jesus possesses the divine merit and love necessary to redeem humanity, and that He alone can bear our sins and reconcile us to God. The preacher passionately declares that Jesus must be central to our salvation, as there is no other name by which we can be saved.
