How do we know that Christ's atonement is effective for the elect?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's atonement is specifically designed for the elect, as seen in Romans 8:33-34, where it affirms that God justifies His chosen ones.

The sufficiency of Christ’s atonement for the elect is supported by numerous passages in Scripture, such as Romans 8:33-34, which states, 'It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again.' This indicates that Christ's death was not a generic offering but a specific sacrifice for those God has chosen. Furthermore, Hebrews 9:28 teaches that Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, signifying a limited atonement effective for the elect alone. This concept reaffirms the understanding that salvation is fully realized in God's elect through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice.
