Why is having a priest important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Having a priest is crucial for Christians as it signifies a mediator who approaches God on our behalf, ensuring forgiveness and reconciliation.

The concept of having a priest is foundational for understanding how believers relate to God. The priest acts as a mediator, bridging the gap between a holy God and sinful humanity. In Hebrews 7:22, Jesus is called the surety of a better testament, underscoring that He alone can represent us before God. Without such a mediator, access to God would be impossible, as we could not stand before Him due to our sinfulness. Jesus, as our eternal High Priest, offers His perfect sacrifice and intercedes continually for us, ensuring our acceptance before God.
