The Bible indicates that the Father gave Christ power over all flesh, the ability to give eternal life, and the elect people to save.
In John 17:1-2, Jesus acknowledges that the Father has given Him power over all flesh, illustrating Christ's sovereign authority over every aspect of human existence. This means that no one acts outside of His decree and that ultimately, God orchestrates all events as He wills. Additionally, Jesus is granted the unique ability to bestow eternal life to those whom the Father has chosen, underlining the significance of His role as the Redeemer. Importantly, Christ's prayer directly connects His glorification with the salvation of the elect, proving that His mission is deliberate and purposeful, aimed specifically at those given to Him by the Father.
