What does the Bible say about the priesthood of all believers?

Answered in 3 sources

The priesthood of all believers means that every Christian has direct access to God through Jesus Christ, our only mediator.

The doctrine of the priesthood of all believers signifies that no one needs another person to mediate with God on their behalf. This is grounded in the belief that Jesus Christ is our sole mediator, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:5. As believers, we approach God directly through faith in the atoning blood of Christ, who serves as our high priest. This understanding elevates the role of every individual Christian, empowering them to worship and minister without needing a human intermediary, emphasizing the direct relationship each believer has with God.
