The Priesthood of All Believers

The Priesthood of All Believers is a Christian doctrine stating that every believer has direct access to God through Jesus Christ, without needing a priest or intermediary. This means all followers can pray, read Scripture, and seek God's guidance personally. It emphasizes that all Christians share responsibility in serving God and representing Him in the world. This idea fosters a sense of personal relationship with God and recognition of each believer’s spiritual authority and duty within the church and beyond, promoting unity and active participation among all members of the faith.
