What is the significance of coming to God in the name of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Coming to God in the name of Jesus signifies approaching Him based on Christ's merit, not our own (John 14:13-14).

When believers approach God 'in the name of Jesus,' they are affirming that all their requests are based on the perfect work and righteousness of Christ. This concept, as highlighted in John 14:13-14, signifies that our access to God is made possible through the intercession of Jesus, our high priest. It shifts the focus away from our own worthiness to the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice, affirming that we have no ground to stand on outside of Him. This understanding encourages believers to approach God with confidence, knowing that their prayers are accepted on the basis of Jesus's authority and merit.
