How do we know that Christ's death was for the elect?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ's death was specifically aimed at the elect, as He bore their sins and fulfilled the requirements of the covenant of grace.
Evidence from Scripture indicates that Christ died for the elect, fulfilling the roles of mediator and sacrifice for those given to Him by the Father in eternal covenant (John 17:9). His intercessory prayer on the cross, expressing forgiveness for those who still did not recognize Him, further illustrates His role as the substitute for God's chosen people. Romans 8:32 confirms that if God spared not His own Son for us, it is certain that all for whom He died will ultimately be saved.
