Scripture: John 17

Those given to the Son are saved
Not universalism – “all are saved”
John 1:1-2 The Son always existed
Glorifying God: Showing people what God is like through your own thoughts, words, & actions.
God gives disciples to Jesus
“Gave” repeated 3x
“Given: repeated 6x
Disciples (believers) are given to the Son by the Father
Eph 1:3-5 Predestined to be saved
“Kept” & “Keep” repeated 2x
Mal 3:6 & Heb 7:21 – Unchanging
Disciples/Believers are kept and guarded by God. You salvation cannot be lost.
Jesus Prayers for Us
v. 20 “Those who will believe”
Jesus prays for unity like in the Trinity
– that we will be with Him to see Him glorified
– that we will know the Father
– that the love of God will be in us
Take Aways
Have you confessed your sin and asked God to forgive you?
If God is keeping and guarding you, who can take you away?
Do you share the love God shows you with others?
What is one thing you can do to show love this week?
Do you ask God to be glorified in your trials or just to escape?
