Kept in Joyfulness:

“But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves” (John 17:13 NKJV).

Kept for the Coming Glory:

“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world” (John 17:22-24 NKJV).

The divine keeper will always keep the saints even from the Old Testament.

“Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep (Ps 121:4 NKJV).

Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are” (John 17:11 NKJV) “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:7 NKJV). “But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one” (2 Thess 3:3 NKJV).

He is the Almighty Guardian:

“For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day” (2 Tim 1:12 NKJV)

“who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:5 NKJV).

Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth (Rev 3:10 NKJV).
