Translations:DEV 20FN Priesthood of Every Believer/36/en

Summary: A priest is a servant of God and then a servant of people. All believers have been given authority to serve the Lord and make disciples because of their priesthood. As priests, they must purify themselves, share the gospel and reinforce the gospel by leading the ordinances, edify and intercede for others. All believers are priest, but not all priests serve in leadership roles. According to Ephesians 4:11-13, the leaders’ task is to equip or train the priests to do the ministry. The believers do the work of BUILDING up Christ’s church and expanding His Kingdom wherever they go. On the first day of belief, upon receiving the Holy Spirit, a new believer becomes a priest! We need to train and empower that person to live out his priestly calling!'
