What does the Bible say about who Christ intercedes for?

Answered in 1 source

Christ intercedes for those whom God the Father has given to Him, the believing people chosen by divine election.

In John 17:9, Jesus explicitly states, 'I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me.' This indicates that Christ's intercession is limited to those chosen by the Father and includes all who have been called to believe in Him. The believers are distinct from the world, having been separated by divine election and given to Christ, affirming that salvation and intercession are particular rather than universal.
