Why is having Christ as our high priest important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's role as our high priest is essential because He alone has the power to save through His perfect life and sacrifice.

The significance of Christ as our high priest is underscored in Hebrews 7:15-16, where it states that He was made a priest not under the law's commandment but by the power of an endless life. Unlike the Levitical priests, who operated out of their frailty and eventually died, Christ’s priesthood is eternal. He offers a perfect sacrifice—Himself—ensuring that salvation is achieved for those He represents. His continual intercession for His people means that they are always fully accepted before God, a privilege no earthly priest could ever grant. Understanding Christ as our high priest consolidates the assurance and the grace we rely on for our salvation.
