How does Jesus' intercession affect believers?

The intercession of Jesus for His people is a profound doctrine within Reformed theology. In John 17, we read of Jesus praying not only for His immediate disciples but for all who would believe through their message. His ongoing intercession guarantees believers that their salvation is secure; He keeps them in the faith, reminding them that they belong to Him. This assurance brings comfort and confidence, as we know that Christ advocates for us before the Father, continually securing our salvation and aiding us in our spiritual journey.
