Why is the concept of Christ's High Priesthood important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's High Priesthood is vital because He intercedes for believers, granting us direct access to God and ensuring our eternal security.

The significance of Christ's High Priesthood lies in His unique role as mediator who has no beginning or end, contrasting with the earthly priests who were many and mortal. As articulated in Hebrews 10, Christ's offering completed once for all the work of atonement and enabled Him to sit down at the right hand of God, symbolizing that His sacrificial work was finished. This established a new priesthood that every believer is part of, allowing us to come boldly into God's presence. Christ’s role as our High Priest reassures us of our standing before God, enabling us to approach Him with confidence, knowing that we are accepted because of Christ's righteousness.
