How do we know that Christ only died for the elect?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of limited atonement reveals that Christ's sacrificial death effectively secures salvation for those elected by God.

The concept that Christ died exclusively for the elect is articulated in several scriptural references that depict the intentional nature of His atonement. John 6:37 states that all whom the Father gives to Christ will come to Him, and He will not cast them out. This indicates a specific group for whom He died—those given to Him by the Father. Additionally, in Matthew 1:21, it is proclaimed that Jesus will save His people from their sins, which distinctly identifies those for whom His sacrifice was made. By understanding limited atonement, believers can appreciate the effectiveness of Christ's sacrifice, which guarantees that all those for whom He died will surely be saved, thereby reflecting God’s sovereignty and justice.
