How do we know Christ's priesthood is greater than Aaron's?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 7 demonstrates that Christ's priesthood, in the order of Melchizedek, is greater than Aaron's because it is eternal and established by God's oath.

The superiority of Christ's priesthood is grounded in the fact that it is eternal and divinely appointed, unlike the priesthood of Aaron, which was based on lineage and subject to death. Hebrews 7 explains that Levi, though the ancestor of Aaron, paid tithes to Melchizedek through Abraham, demonstrating that Melchizedek's priesthood is superior. Furthermore, God swore an oath that Christ is a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek, providing a new covenant that fulfills and surpasses the old covenant established by the law, which could not bring perfection.
