How do we know Christ's sacrifice was for His chosen people?

Answered in 1 source

Scriptures affirm that Christ's sacrifice was specifically for those given to Him by the Father, as noted in John 10:28-29.

The assurance that Christ's sacrifice was made for His chosen people is rooted in Scriptures such as John 10:28-29, where He states that He gives eternal life to His sheep and that no one can snatch them from His hand. This truth is also echoed in John 18:9, where Jesus, in His arrest, declares that none of those given to Him by the Father will be lost. Here, we see a profound expression of substitutionary atonement, indicating that Christ died intentionally and exclusively for His people, fulfilling the Father's redemptive plan. This underscores the doctrine of particular redemption in Reformed theology, highlighting that His sacrifice was sufficient and effective for those whom God had chosen.
