By definition, a priest is someone who has direct access to God, in contrast to the normal situation in which we are separated from God by our sins. For example, under the Mosaic system, the priest had to take your sacrifice and offer it on your behalf.
However, as a Christian, because Christ has taken our sins away by suffering on our behalf, we have that personal access to God restored, and are thus said to be "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation." (1 Peter 2:9)
