What role does the royal priesthood play in the lives of Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The royal priesthood empowers Christians to access God directly and represent Him in the world.

As part of the royal priesthood, articulated in 1 Peter 2:9, Christians have been given the privilege and responsibility to approach God directly in prayer and worship, seeking His intercession. This role denotes that believers are not only recipients of God's grace but also participants in His work. Each believer can serve as a mediator in the sense that they intercede for others and proclaim the Gospel. This priesthood reflects the total access to God that was made possible through Christ's sacrifice, eliminating the need for human mediators. As such, Christians are called to represent God’s kingdom and reflect His holiness to the world, living out their faith in a way that brings glory to Him.
