How do we know Christ is a high priest after the order of Melchizedek?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture, specifically Hebrews 7, indicates that Christ's priesthood is eternal and differs from the temporary Levitical priesthood.

In Hebrews 7, it is explicitly stated that Christ is a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. This is significant because Melchizedek's priesthood was not established by human lineage or appointment, and Christ's fulfillment of this role demonstrates the finality of His atoning work. Unlike the Levitical priests who had to offer sacrifices for their own sins, Christ, as the perfect priest, offered Himself without blemish for His people. His unchangeable priesthood assures believers of His lasting intercession before God.
