How do we know that Christ's redemption is for the church?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's redemption was specifically for His church, fulfilling God's justice for the elect.
The doctrine of redemption emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice was not a general offer of salvation but a definitive act for His chosen people. The preacher highlights that Christ bore the sins of His church, satisfying divine justice completely. This establishes that His redemptive work was purposeful, ensuring that every elect member of Zion is saved. Christ's role as the scapegoat, illustrated in Leviticus 16, serves as an exact representation of how He absorbed the sins of His people, indicating the intentional and definite nature of His atonement for those He loves, rather than an uncertain endeavor to redeem all.
