How do we know Jesus' death was for His sheep?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly states that He lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:15), indicating His sacrificial intent.

The assurance of who Jesus died for is critical in understanding the Gospel. In John 10:15, Jesus says, 'I lay down my life for the sheep,' indicating that His death was intentional and specifically for those He redeems. This claim emphasizes the limits of His sacrifice, implying that the efficacy of His death applies to His elect, contrasting with universal redemption theories. Knowing who He died for shapes our view of salvation and the assurance we can have in Christ.
