How does Christ serve as our High Priest?

Christ's role as our High Priest is foundational to understanding the believer's relationship with God. According to Hebrews 6:20, He entered the inner sanctuary behind the veil, a symbol of approaching God's presence. His sacrifice was once for all, offering eternal salvation to those who trust in Him. Unlike the earthly priests who had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, Christ's sacrifice was complete and gives believers direct access to God, affirming His eternal priesthood in the order of Melchizedek.
