God, as gracious priest, mediates our ____.

• A. Redemption
• B. Transformation
• C. Sanctification
• D. Salvation

Answer: (B)

Transformation is the ongoing reshaping of our inner life and outward conduct that God works through Christ’s gracious priestly mediation. As our high priest, Jesus intercedes for us, applies grace, and enables the spiritual renewal of the mind and heart by the Spirit. This ongoing influence leads us to become more like Him in desires, attitudes, and actions, which is why transformation fits best here.

Redemption refers to being bought back from bondage to sin—an act tied to the initial work of salvation rather than the continual change that comes from ongoing mediation. Sanctification describes the process of becoming holy, which is closely related to transformation but the wording here highlights the broader, dynamic change in character that results from grace mediated by Christ the priest. Salvation denotes the broader state or act of being saved, which again is more about the outcome than the specific ongoing change produced by mediation.
