How do we know Christ's sacrifice was for many?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice was for many as He explicitly stated that His blood was shed for many, affirming the belief in particular redemption.

In Mark 14:24, Jesus states, 'This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many.' This declaration affirms the doctrine of particular redemption, suggesting that Christ's atoning sacrifice was specifically for His elect, not universally for all without exception. This concept is rooted deeply in Reformed theology and illustrates God's sovereign grace in choosing whom He redeems. The distinction emphasizes the efficacy of Christ's blood in the lives of those who believe and signifies that His death and resurrection were purposeful and effective for those given to Him by the Father. This encourages believers to find assurance in their salvation, knowing that Christ's sacrifice was intentional and sufficient for them.
