Why is Jesus' eternal priesthood important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' eternal priesthood is essential because it ensures our ongoing intercession and access to God.

The eternal nature of Jesus' priesthood provides Christians with assurance of His constant advocacy before God the Father. Hebrews 7:25 states that He 'is able to save to the uttermost' those who draw near to God through Him, emphasizing that His intercession is not contingent upon temporal circumstances. Unlike the Levitical priests who had to continually offer sacrifices, Jesus' singular act of atonement guarantees our secure position before God, giving us peace and confidence to approach Him as His people.
