How do we know that Christ died for His own?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's death for His own is affirmed in Scripture, notably in John 10:15, where He states, 'I lay down my life for the sheep.'

The doctrine of particular redemption posits that Christ died specifically for those whom the Father has given Him, namely His elect. John 10:15 explicitly states, 'I lay down my life for the sheep,' indicating that His sacrificial death is intended for His own, not for all indiscriminately. Acts 20:28 further affirms this by saying that the church of God was purchased with His own blood. This understanding underscores the sufficiency and effectiveness of Christ's atonement, emphasizing that He secured salvation for those whom He came to save. Therefore, knowing that Christ died for His own provides believers with assurance and grounds their faith in the efficacy of His work on the cross.
