What does the Bible say about the significance of praying toward the Lord Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Praying toward the Lord Jesus symbolizes repentance and faith in Him as the only source of salvation.

In 1 Kings 8, Solomon emphasizes that when the people of Israel pray toward the temple, they are essentially praying toward the Lord Jesus Christ, acknowledging their need for His intercession and forgiveness. This act of prayer represents repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ, who is the true temple and means of communion with the Father. It reminds us that our access to God is mediated through Christ, who alone can forgive sins and provide righteousness.
Scripture References: 1 Kings 8:30, Ephesians 1:6
