John 17:23

This verse advances the thought of John 17:21. Jesus wanted the unity among believers to be so great and so clear that the world would believe Jesus’ message. The world would also see that God had poured out His love on believers as well as Jesus. Notice that Jesus implied that He would indwell believers as the Father indwelt Him. All three members of the Godhead indwell the Christian (John 14:23; Romans 8:9; Colossians 1:27). God’s indwelling presence unites Christians in the body of Christ and glorifies God.
