How does the priesthood relate to God's election?

Answered in 1 source

The priesthood illustrates God's sovereign choice, as He elects individuals for grace and service.

God's sovereign election is foundational to understanding the priesthood, as demonstrated in Exodus and Hebrews. God chose Aaron and his sons as priests, symbolizing His deliberate selection of a specific people for His glory. Similarly, Christ was chosen as our High Priest before the foundation of the world, signifying that God's election is an initiation of grace rather than human effort. This concept is echoed in the New Testament where believers are described as a royal priesthood, emphasizing that our priestly status is rooted in God’s grace and His choice to save a particular people for Himself.
