What does it mean to be a royal priesthood in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being a royal priesthood means believers are set apart to worship God and serve His purposes as kings and priests.

The concept of believers as a 'royal priesthood' stems from 1 Peter 2:9, where God designates His people to proclaim His praises and offer spiritual sacrifices. This royal priesthood signifies an elevated status granted through Christ's redemptive work, where we partake in His kingship and fulfill priestly functions of worship and intercession. As royal priests, we are empowered to serve God in holiness, representing Him to the world and offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable through Christ. This calling underscores our identity in Christ and our divine purpose as we live out our faith—proclaiming the grace and glory of God.
