How do we know Jesus' sacrifice was intended for the elect?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus explicitly states that His mission is to save His people, referring to the elect (Matthew 1:21).

The intent of Christ's sacrifice is affirmed in scriptures like Matthew 1:21, where it says, 'He shall save His people from their sins.' This indicates that His mission was not merely a general offer of salvation but a specific redemptive act for those given to Him by the Father. Furthermore, John 6:38-39 elaborates on this by stating that He came to do the will of the Father, which includes losing none of those the Father has given to Him. This understanding aligns seamlessly with the sovereign grace theology that maintains Christ's death was fully effective for the elect, negating the idea that His sacrifice was ineffectual for any who ultimately fail to believe.
