How do we know Christ's sacrifice was for the elect?

Answered in 3 sources

Scripture teaches that Christ's sacrifice was specifically for God's elect, as indicated in Isaiah 53:8, where it states He was stricken for 'my people.'

The notion that Christ's sacrifice was for the elect is reinforced by passages such as Isaiah 53:8, which says, 'For the transgression of my people was he stricken.' This indicates that His atoning work was not for every single person but specifically for those whom God chose before the foundation of the world. The New Testament reaffirms this truth in multiple places, showing that Christ's blood effectively secures the salvation of those for whom it was shed. Understanding the doctrine of election helps clarify the nature and purpose of Christ's atonement, assuring believers that His sacrifice guarantees their salvation.
