Why is it important for Christians to understand Jesus' priesthood?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding Jesus' priesthood is vital for Christians because it assures us that we have direct access to God through Him and that our sins are fully atoned for (Hebrews 4:16).

Comprehending the significance of Jesus' priesthood allows Christians to grasp the depth of their relationship with God. Jesus acts as the ultimate mediator between God and man, ensuring that we can approach God's throne with confidence and boldness to receive mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:16). Because of His perfect sacrifice, Christians no longer rely on earthly priests or rituals to seek forgiveness. Additionally, His role as our high priest provides continual intercession on our behalf, allowing us to rest in the assurance of our salvation and leading us to live in light of His grace that empowers us in our daily lives.
