How do we know Christ's redemption is for His elect?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture confirms that Christ came to redeem His people, emphasizing that His atonement was particularly for God's elect.

The message of Christ’s redemption is that He came specifically to save His people from their sins. As stated in Matthew 1:21, 'For He will save His people from their sins,' which clearly indicates a particular group known as 'His people' or the elect. In Hebrews 2:9, it speaks of Christ tasting death for everyone, which must be understood contextually. The term 'everyone' is qualified by the intention behind Christ's work, which was aimed squarely at those whom the Father had given Him. This truth forms the backbone of the sovereign grace doctrine, asserting that Christ’s death sufficiently atones for the sins of the elect alone.
