How does Jesus keep and protect His people?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus keeps and protects His people through His intercession and by the power of God, ensuring their eternal security.

In John 17:15, Jesus prays not for His followers to be taken out of the world, but that they be kept from the evil one. This reflects His role as the Good Shepherd who protects His flock. Believers are assured of their security in Christ, as Scripture explains in 1 Peter 1:5, where they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. The intercessory work of Christ, as highlighted in Luke 22:31-32 where He tells Peter, 'I have prayed for you,' signifies that He actively safeguards the faith of His people, so that they may not fall away. This divine protection brings comfort to believers, knowing that they are never alone and that Christ secures their standing before God.
