About this ebook
Jesus Christ, through His priestly ministry, provided salvation unto all men. Those who receive Him, of both Jew and Gentile, become members of His family. Under the Old Covenant, the priesthood belonged to Aaron and his sons. Since believers, by faith, are part of Christ’s family line, they receive the ministry of the priesthood also. In the pages of this study, we will provide foundational truth concerning the royal priesthood of the believer.

Introduction
Paul instructed Timothy to rightly divide the Word of Truth. As believers, we should follow this example and become students of the Bible. The Abundant Truth Study Series was developed to aid believers in the study of the scriptures. Various areas of biblical theology and Christian practice are explored. This series is designed to help believers to increase in the knowledge of the faith.
In this publication
Jesus Christ, through His priestly ministry, provided salvation unto all men. Those who receive Him, of both Jew and Gentile, become members of His family. Under the Old Covenant, the priesthood belonged to Aaron and his sons. Since believers, by faith, are part of Christ’s family line, they receive the ministry of the priesthood also.
Under the Levitical system, there was one high priest among the priests. Christ was called a High Priest and not the only priest; thus, there has to be other priests that serve with Him. These other priests are those who have believed on Him. The believer receives kingship and priesthood through Jesus.
To have a people of a royal priesthood has always been a part of God’s plan for His people. It was His desire for the children of Israel, yet He developed this desire in the believers. In the pages of this study, we will provide foundational truth concerning the royal priesthood of the believer.*****
