How do we know that prayers must be offered in Christ's name?

Answered in 1 source

Prayers must be offered in Christ's name as shown in Revelation 8:3-5, which cites the golden altar of incense.

The altar of incense in Exodus 30:1-10 illustrates that incense, symbolizing prayers, must be presented exclusively at this altar, indicative of Christ's unique mediatorial role. Revelation 8:3-5 further reinforces this by depicting the saints' prayers being offered before God through the mediation of Christ. Therefore, we understand that our prayers should be made in Christ's name, aligning with His will and authority to be acceptable before God.
