How do we know Jesus died for the elect according to the Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that Jesus came to save His elect, as highlighted in Romans 10 and John 10 where He speaks of laying down His life for the sheep.

The Bible teaches that Christ's atonement is particular rather than universal. John 10:15 states, 'I lay down my life for the sheep', indicating a specific group for whom He died. Furthermore, Romans 10:9–10 emphasizes that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead. This specificity is crucial because it underscores that the righteousness of God in salvation is based not on human effort but on His sovereign choice, securing salvation for all for whom Christ died.
