How do we know that the merits of Christ are represented by the holy perfume?

Answered in 1 source

The holy perfume symbolizes the merits of Christ, as it was used in the Holy of Holies to represent His intercession and sacrifice.

The holy perfume is a vivid representation of the merits of our Lord's person and work. As outlined in Exodus and referenced in 1 Corinthians 1:30, the perfume was used on the golden altar to typify Christ’s continuous intercession for believers. Just as the incense rose up in the tabernacle, so does Christ's sacrifice and righteousness ascend to God on our behalf. This connection reinforces the understanding that the high priest’s offerings were ultimately fulfilled in Christ, whose blood atoned for sin and pleads for us eternally.
