Why is it important for Christians to understand that Jesus does not pray for everyone?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding that Jesus does not pray for everyone highlights His sovereign election and the security of salvation for believers.

This truth underscores the doctrine of election, showing that God's grace operates within a definite purpose—saving His chosen people. It challenges the common misconception of universalism and reinforces the understanding that Christ's atoning work and prayers are specifically tailored for the elect. By discerning this distinction, believers can rest in the assurance that their salvation is secure and that they are cherished by the Savior who intercedes for them, as outlined in John 17:12 regarding those kept in God's name.
