What does it mean to come to God in Christ's name?

Answered in 1 source

Coming to God in Christ's name means relying on His righteousness and works rather than our own.

To approach God in Christ's name is to acknowledge that our acceptance is based on Christ's righteousness, not our own. When Jacob communicated to Isaac that he was Esau, he represented his reliance on the firstborn's identity before God. Similarly, believers, when they come to God, assert their identity in Christ, claiming the righteousness of Jesus as their own. This is substantiated in passages such as John 14:13-14, which guarantees that whatever we ask in Christ’s name will be given to us, emphasizing our dependence on Him.
