Why is it important that Christ is our High Priest?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's role as our High Priest is crucial as He intercedes for us and offers a complete sacrifice for our sins (Hebrews 7:25).

The significance of Christ being our High Priest cannot be overstated in the life of a believer. As articulated in Hebrews 7:25, Christ forever lives to make intercession for those who draw near to God through Him. This means that Christ continually represents His people before the Father, applying the benefits of His atoning sacrifice to our lives. His priesthood assures us that we have a mediator who understands our struggles and temptations, having suffered in every respect as we have (Hebrews 4:15). Moreover, Christ’s priestly work ended the need for the Aaronic priesthood and all previous sacrifices, making Him the sole mediator through whom we can approach God with confidence (Hebrews 10:19-22). This underscores the grace and assurance found in the sovereign work of Christ on our behalf.
