How do we know that Christ died for specific people?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ died for specific people because Scripture highlights His intercessory prayer for His disciples, not for the world.

The distinction of whom Christ died for is articulated in John 17, where Jesus explicitly states, 'I pray for them; I pray not for the world.' This highlights that His death is effectual for those whom the Father has given to Him, revealing the doctrine of election and particular redemption. Additionally, Romans 5 asserts that while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son. This illustrates the specific and intentional nature of Christ's atoning work. The gospel message affirms that His sacrifice is tailored for a chosen people, ensuring that none whom He intends to save can be lost.
