How do we know Jesus's priesthood is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus's priesthood is effective because He intercedes perpetually before God and His sacrifice completely atones for our sins.

The effectiveness of Jesus's priesthood is grounded in His eternal nature and the completeness of His sacrifice. Unlike the Old Testament priests, who offered sacrifices repeatedly, Christ's single offering of Himself once for all is sufficient, as stated in Hebrews 10:12. His unchanging and eternal status assures believers that He continually intercedes for them, asking for their salvation and the non-imputation of their sins. As our Mediator, Christ argues before God based on His shed blood, promising redemption and grace to all who believe, demonstrating the assurance we have in His priestly work.
