What are the implications of the New Covenant in Jesus' priesthood?
Answered in 1 source
The New Covenant established by Jesus means that we no longer rely on Old Testament sacrifices, as His one-time sacrifice is sufficient for our redemption.
The New Covenant, initiated by the death and resurrection of Jesus, marks a significant shift in how believers relate to God. In Hebrews, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that the Old Covenant — with its rituals and animal sacrifices — has been rendered obsolete by the superior sacrifice of Christ (Hebrews 8:13). This new relationship is characterized by direct access to God, as Jesus, our great High Priest, has satisfyingly fulfilled all requirements for atonement. As such, believers are no longer burdened by the weight of continual sacrifices and can confidently approach the throne of grace in full assurance of faith, knowing that their sins are remembered no more (Hebrews 10:17).
