Contributed by Pastor Matthew Faure on Jan 10, 2026

Christ's blood-purchase makes all believers a royal priesthood with permanent Spirit-indwelling. Because New Covenant believers are the temple rather than entering it temporarily, Leviticus 10:9's priestly sobriety requirement becomes continuous, not contextual.
