How do we know that Jesus died for His sheep?

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus explicitly states that He lays down His life for His sheep, indicating that His atonement is specific to them (John 10:15).

The assurance that Jesus died specifically for His sheep is rooted in His own words in John 10:15, where He emphasizes the personal nature of His sacrifice. He refers to 'His sheep,' indicating that His atonement is not a blanket provision for all but is directed toward those whom the Father has given Him. This is consistent with the doctrine of particular redemption, teaching that Christ’s death effectively secured the salvation of the elect, ensuring that their sins are atoned for and that they will ultimately believe in Him. This theological position is reinforced throughout Scripture, emphasizing God’s sovereignty in salvation.
