How do we know the doctrine of Christ's eternal priesthood is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ's eternal priesthood is true through Scripture, which teaches that He is a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

The doctrine of Christ's eternal priesthood is affirmed in Hebrews 7:17 where it states, 'For He testifieth, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.' This supports the view that Jesus, unlike Aaron's descendants, holds a permanent and unending priesthood. His resurrection and ascension into heaven further validate this truth, showing that He intercedes for His people continually. Whereas the Levitical priests had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Christ offered Himself once for all, fulfilling the law perfectly and securing eternal redemption for those He represents. This unique role solidifies our assurance that Jesus is our high priest forever.
