Why do Christians believe in the priesthood of all believers?

Answered in 1 source

Christians believe in the priesthood of all believers because through Christ, every believer has direct access to God and is called to offer spiritual sacrifices (Hebrews 10:19-22).

The doctrine of the priesthood of all believers is rooted in the New Testament teaching that all Christians, through their faith in Christ, have been made priests. Hebrews 10:19-22 illustrates that believers can boldly enter God’s presence through the blood of Christ, with no need for an earthly priest to mediate. This access is foundational to Christian worship and service, as it empowers each believer to bring offerings of praise and thanksgiving directly to God, fulfilling their role as part of a holy priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). The implication is that every member of the church is called to minister in their context and contribute to the body of Christ.
