How does Christ perfume our prayers?

Revelation 8:3 illustrates that angels offer prayers with incense before God, symbolizing how Christ intercedes and purifies our prayers. Our prayers often reflect our inadequacies; however, through Christ’s mediatorial work, He perfumes them, ensuring they ascend to God with acceptance. Ephesians 5:2 reinforces this idea, indicating that Christ's sacrifice is a sweet-smelling savor to God, which encompasses our prayers mingled with His merit, granting us confidence that our requests are heard.
