John 17:11 KJV
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Scofield's notes on John 17:2 says in part,
"...It is Christ who commits the believer to the Father for safe keeping, so that the believer's security rests upon the Father's faithfulness to His Son Jesus Christ. "
What an encouraging thought and what a security this brings to the believer when we come to see that Christ asks His Heavenly Father to keep us through His own name.
Our security is not found in our strength to live the Christian life
Our security is not even found in Christ's all powerful ability to keep what we have committed to Him
Our security is found in Christ's relationship with His Heavenly Father.
We are as eternally secure as is the relationship Jesus Christ has with God the Father.
