How do we know that Jesus's death was a ransom for many?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus's death served as a ransom payment to satisfy God's justice for His people, as affirmed in Mark 10:45.

In Mark 10:45, Jesus states that He came to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. This signifies that His death was not just an act of love, but a necessary payment made to fulfill the demands of God's justice. The concept of a ransom implies that a price was paid to liberate others, which in this case, was paid to God's law and justice. Jesus's blood effectively frees the elect from their sins and ensures their acceptance before God, confirming that His sacrifice was intended for a specific group whom the Father chose before the foundation of the world.
