Why is the concept of the great high priest important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The great high priest is crucial for Christians because He ensures direct access to God and provides complete forgiveness of sins.

Understanding the role of the great high priest is fundamental for Christians as it reinforces the doctrine of salvation and the believer's relationship with God. Hebrews 4:16 offers believers the encouragement that they can approach the throne of grace with confidence, obtaining mercy and grace in times of need. Unlike the Old Testament system that required intermediaries and sacrifices, believers now have direct access to God through Christ. His role as high priest entails advocating for us, thus assuring believers of their eternal security and acceptance before God. The recognition that Jesus fulfills everything the priesthood represented in the Old Testament brings a profound sense of peace and assurance of salvation to every believer.
