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

Answered in 5 sources

The doctrine of Christ's priesthood is affirmed through the fulfillment of Old Testament types and prophecies and is explicitly taught in the New Testament (Hebrews 4:14-16).

The truth of Christ's priesthood can be observed through the extensive typology evident in the Old Testament. Figures like Aaron and the Levitical priesthood served as foreshadows of the ultimate High Priest. Hebrews 4:14-16 emphasizes that Christ has passed through the heavens and is able to sympathize with us in our weaknesses, thus serving as the perfect priest. Furthermore, Hebrews 7 shows that Jesus is a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek, indicating that He provides a perfect and eternal intercession for His people. Such doctrinal truths are rooted in Scripture and corroborate the divine authenticity of Christ's role as our High Priest.
