How do we know Christ's priesthood is true?

Answered in 9 sources

Christ's priesthood is confirmed through His unique offering of Himself as the perfect sacrifice, fulfilling the requirements of a High Priest as stated in Scripture.

The certainty of Christ's priesthood is rooted in His divine nature and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Unlike Aaron, who was a sinful man requiring sacrifices for his own sins, Christ, being sinless, offered Himself as a once-for-all sacrifice. Hebrews 7:27 highlights that He does not need to offer sacrifices daily. By this singular act, He has established a new covenant with better promises, as indicated in Hebrews 8:6. The resurrection of Christ further affirms His role as the Great High Priest who intercedes for us before God, demonstrating that His priesthood is not only true but also essential for our salvation.
