John 17:20-26
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
Jesus in His Priestly Prayers prays for believers, prays that all believers believe in Him through the message of His Disciples and His believers...And that we know that all of His believers, His Christians may be one, like the Father is in Jesus as Jesus is in the Father...Jesus has made God sent Him to earth to be known by believers and that believers would see the glory that God has given Him...
So Jesus says that God want us to get to believe in the Father and Him...So, we must know Jesus and God to believe in Him...So God wants us to know that He is the Living God and sincerely and humbly wants us to communicate with Him and He wants to talk to Him often...Or put another way how often do you like to say intimate things or private things to people you do not know or hardly know?...We have to spend time with people and God to get to know them...The same goes for God...He wants us to spend time with Him, get to know Him, believe in Him, trust Him, and to have faith in Him...
