What does the Bible mean by praying in Jesus' name?

Answered in 1 source

Praying in Jesus' name signifies approaching God based on Christ’s merit and mediation.

To pray in Jesus' name means that we acknowledge His sacrifice and mediation between God and humanity. It recognizes that we have no right to approach God based on our merit but only because we are covered by the righteousness of Christ (Romans 5:1-2). This practice underscores that the effectiveness of our prayers rests not on us but on Christ’s intercession for us. When we pray in His name, we are submitting to God’s will and trusting that He will hear us for His Son's sake.
