How do we know Christ is our eternal high priest?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our eternal high priest, as affirmed in Scripture, because He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice once for all.

The assurance that Christ is our eternal high priest is grounded in Scripture. Hebrews 7:15-17 notes that Jesus was made a high priest not through the lineage of Aaron but in the order of Melchizedek, signifying an eternal priesthood without beginning or end. Furthermore, the effectiveness of His priesthood is highlighted in Hebrews 10:4, where it states that the blood of bulls and goats could never take away sins; hence, Christ's sacrifice is indispensable. He offered Himself as the perfect and final sacrifice for our sins, fully appeasing God's justice, making His priesthood unique and unrepeatable. Unlike the imperfect priests of the Old Testament who had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary once with His own blood, thus providing eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12).
