How do we know Jesus was made sin for the elect?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture explicitly shows that Jesus was made sin for His chosen people, not for everyone.

The doctrine that Jesus was made sin for the elect is rooted in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21, where it states that He who knew no sin became sin for us. This speaks to the particular redemption intended for those specifically elected by God before the foundation of the world. Christ's self-sacrifice was not a generic atonement but was purposefully made for those chosen by the Father, ensuring that His suffering and death were sufficient for the sins of His people.
