"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
The role of the priest was to mediate between God and the people of Israel. The advent of Christianity fundamentally changed this role. The people did not need priests to mediate with God, the people could deal directly with God. Thus we are part of the royal priesthood. The priesthood in which everyone is called to service. Our service and deeds declare our praise of God.
