How do we know that Christ's priesthood is eternal?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 7 emphasizes that Christ's priesthood is eternal because it is established by God's immutable oath and not subject to death like the Levitical priests.

The eternal nature of Christ's priesthood is underscored in Hebrews 7. Unlike the Levitical priests, who were mortal and flawed, Jesus holds an unchangeable priesthood. This is confirmed by the oath of God the Father, who declared that Christ is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. This makes Him the only perfect mediator capable of reconciling sinners to God. The durability of His office ensures that He can intercede effectively for His people at all times, as noted in verses about His ability to save completely those who draw near to God through Him.
