What does it mean that Christ presents our works?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ intercedes with our good works, making them acceptable to God despite our failures.

As stated in Ephesians 2:10, we are God's workmanship created for good works. However, our good works are often mixed with sin. Christ, as our Intercessor, purifies these works before presenting them to God. In the Old Testament, the high priest would bear the iniquity of the holy things, emphasizing that even our best efforts require Christ's redemptive work to be found acceptable. His intercession ensures that our flawed attempts at righteousness are transformed and accepted by God.
