How do we know Christ’s atonement is for the elect?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's atonement is specifically for the elect, as He laid down His life for many, which includes those whom God has chosen.

The sovereignty of God's choice is central to understanding the scope of Christ’s atonement. In Matthew 20:28, it is stated that the Son of Man came to give His life as a ransom for many. This indicates that Christ’s sacrificial death is effective for those who are numbered among the elect, those whom God has chosen from before the foundation of the world. It assures believers that their redemption is secure and that the atonement was designed specifically to meet God's justice while demonstrating His mercy towards His chosen people.
