How do we know Christ died for His people?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible asserts that Christ's death and resurrection fulfill the promises made to God's elect, affirming that He died for those given to Him.

Christ's sacrificial death is central to the gospel, and Scripture confirms that He died for His chosen people. In Hebrews 2:11, we learn that Christ identifies with His brethren, further emphasizing that He was appointed as a high priest to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. The act of atonement was not general but specific—Christ died for the children of promise, as indicated in Romans 9:8 and Ephesians 1:4-5. By taking on human flesh and representing His people, Christ secured their redemption, assuring that His sacrifice was effective for those whom the Father had predestined. Therefore, His death is grounded in God's eternal purpose, showcasing His unchanging love and commitment to His elect.
