The Father and the Son share a united purpose in the salvation of the elect, as expressed in the intercession of Jesus in John 17.

The relationship between the Father and the Son is one characterized by love, mutual purpose, and intimate communion. In John 17, we see Jesus praying to the Father, emphasizing the profound connection and unity in their mission to redeem humanity. He acknowledges that those who believe in Him were given to Him by the Father, revealing the collaborative essence of their relationship (John 17:6). This relationship is pivotal in understanding the gospel because it assures believers of their security and purpose. God's covenant love is evident as the Father commits the plan of redemption to the Son, showcasing an everlasting connection that affirms the identity and security of all who are united with Christ.
