== == Paul in the verses (in context)below. See verse 5.
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; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 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.
: Also the writer (who some would assert is also Paul) of the letter to the Hebrews:
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

How does Saint Paul remind us that Jesus is the Mediator?

Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is their mediator?
The vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jesus is their mediator, as shown in the first two quotes from the Watchtower Society's literature below. Only those among them who are of the anointed heavenly class do so. Of the approximately seven and a half million Witnesses, as per the latest official statistics, the maximum number of anointed still living today is 12,604.This is because the 12,604 partakers of the emblems of the Lord's Evening Meal are the remnant still alive today of the 144,000 spoken of in Revelation.World wide Security under the Prince of Peace, published by Jehovah's Witnesses says on p10. ''Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members.''Watchtower 1st Apr '79 p31 says,''So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians.''.However, Jehovah's Witnesses DO believe that Jesus is the mediator in their prayers, which are directed to Jehovah God alone. See Psalms 65:2 ; John 14:6; 16:3 ; 1 Timothy 2:5.Not sure if Questioner is asking if belief is necessary that Jesus helps us to gain salvation? That is true. If the question is more related to,'who hears our prayers?', will answer that later, as that will take it another direction.The answer from the Watchtower of 2008, shows Jesus actions as a mediator will benefit anyone who desires to become an active follower of him.*** w08 12/15 pp. 13-14 Appreciate Jesus' Unique Role in God's Purpose ***"The Mediator of a New Covenant"11 Read 1 Timothy 2:5, 6. Jesus is the "one mediator between God and men." He is "the mediator of a new covenant." (Heb. 9:15; 12:24) However, Moses is also spoken of as a mediator-the mediator of the Law covenant. (Gal. 3:19) How, then, is Jesus' role as Mediator unique?12 The original-language word translated "mediator" is a legal term. It refers to Jesus as a legal Mediator (or, in a sense, an attorney) of the new covenant that made possible the birth of a new nation, "the Israel of God." (Gal. 6:16) This nation is composed of spirit-anointed Christians, who form a heavenly "royal priesthood." (1 Pet. 2:9; Ex. 19:6) The Law covenant, with Moses as mediator, was not able to produce a nation like that.13 What does Jesus' role as Mediator involve? Well, Jehovah applies the value of Jesus' blood to those being brought into the new covenant. In this way, Jehovah legally credits them with righteousness. (Rom. 3:24; Heb. 9:15) God can then take them into the new covenant with the prospect of their becoming heavenly king-priests! As their Mediator, Jesus assists them in maintaining a clean standing before God.-Heb. 2:16.
What does a intermediary do?
A Intermediary is the same thing as a mediator. I Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus". A mediator is a connecting link between two parties who want to come to an agreement. In the case of I Timothy 2:5 talking about Salvation Jesus Christ was the connecting link between God and men. Jesus was the perfect mediator as he possessed the nature and attributes of God (He was the Son of God and God Himself) and He (Jesus) was fully a Human Being. Jesus was the God/Man and so was the perfect Mediator. He mediates peace between God and any man who comes to God through Jesus Christ.
