Why is the change from Aaron's priesthood to Christ's important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The change signifies that all believers are now granted direct access to God through Christ without the need for mediators.

The transition from Aaron's priesthood to that of Christ is fundamentally important for Christians as it redefines the relationship between God and His people. Under the old covenant, access to God was limited to a specific priesthood. However, with the coming of Christ, the veil that separated believers from God's presence was torn (Matthew 27:51), symbolizing that all who are in Christ are priests (1 Peter 2:9) and can approach God directly. This radical change affirms the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, offering unconditional access and a full inheritance to all believers, thus fulfilling the promise of a new covenant established in His blood.
