How do we know that believers are chosen as God's priests?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are chosen as God's priests by God's divine will and election, as seen in Scripture.

Scripture reveals that believers are chosen as God's priests through His sovereign will. In Leviticus 8, priests were chosen by God, not through their effort or lineage, but through divine selection, illustrating that true priesthood comes from grace. This election extends to New Testament believers, as articulated in 1 Peter 2:9, where Christians are described as a chosen generation. The understanding that our identity as priests is based on God's initiative rather than human decision underscores the grace and mercy inherent in salvation.
