Who is the redeemer of God's elect?

Scripture

  1. 1 Timothy 2:5 [1]
    For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (ESV)
  2. John 1:1 [2]
    The Word Became Flesh In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (ESV)
  3. John 1:14 [2]
    And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (ESV)
  4. John 10:30 [2]
    I and the Father are one.” (ESV)
  5. Philippians 2:6 [2]
    who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, (ESV)
  6. Galatians 4:4 [2]
    But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, (ESV)
  7. Philippians 2:5–11 [3]
    Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (ESV)
