How do the sweet-smelling garments of Christ affect our prayers?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sweet-smelling garments mean our prayers and worship are made acceptable to God through Him.

In Christ, our prayers and worship are acceptable to God because they are offered through the sweet-smelling sacrifice of His garments. As illustrated in Philippians 4:18, even our imperfect offerings can be seen as a sweet aroma to God, due to the merit of Christ. His perfect obedience and righteousness cover our shortcomings and make us worthy to approach the throne of grace. Therefore, believers can confidently present their requests and worship, knowing they are accepted in Christ, who intercedes for us continuously at the right hand of God.
