Did Jesus die to save everyone?

The belief that Jesus died to make salvation possible for everyone is a widespread assumption, but it does not align with biblical teaching. The Scriptures affirm that Jesus came to save 'His people from their sins' (Matthew 1:21), highlighting that His atonement is particular and effective for those who belong to Him. If Christ’s death was intended for all, then there would be no individuals in hell, which contradicts the reality of lost souls. Therefore, the biblical understanding is that Jesus died specifically for the elect, ensuring their salvation without fail, as evidenced in His sacrificial work on the cross.
