Answered in 1 source

It signifies the assurance of eternal security and the intimate relationship between Christ and His believers.

Christ's intercessory prayer is of paramount significance for Christians as it reveals both His love and commitment to His people. In John 17:9, Jesus states, "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are yours." This emphasizes that Jesus actively intercedes for His elect, ensuring their salvation and spiritual welfare. Moreover, the eternal aspect of His prayer reminds believers of their secure position in Christ, as they are included in His covenant promises and grace. It embodies the hope that they will ultimately be with Him and behold His glory, affirming that their relationship with Christ is secure and unbreakable, rooted in His sovereign will.
