Answered in 1 source

Jesus' prayer, as recorded in John 17, assures believers of His ongoing intercession and love, confirming their status as God's chosen people.

In John 17, Jesus' prayer for His followers reveals the depth of His commitment and love for those who believe in Him. He prays specifically for protection and unity, emphasizing that they are not of the world, even as He is not. This prayer serves as a powerful assurance to believers that Christ actively intercedes for them, fulfilling His role as the Great High Priest. The promise of His continued intercession provides confidence that their salvation is secure, as He keeps them from evil and guides them to eternal glory. Knowing that Christ prays for them gives believers hope and strength to endure the trials of life.
