How do we know Christ's priesthood is essential?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's priesthood is essential because He was made a priest by God and is the only mediator who provides an acceptable sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 7:20-22).

Hebrews 7:20-22 states that Jesus was made a priest by God's oath, establishing His unique and eternal priesthood. Unlike earthly priests, Christ's priesthood is complete and perfect, as He alone offers a sacrifice that satisfies divine justice. He intercedes on behalf of His people, securing forgiveness and access to God for those who believe. His role as the only high priest emphasizes the importance of faith in Him as the sole mediator between God and humanity, thus making His priesthood utterly essential for our salvation.
