How do we know that limited atonement is true?

Answered in 6 sources

Limited atonement is evident in Scripture as it affirms that Christ's redemption is specifically effective for God's elect, as indicated in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5.

The doctrine of limited atonement asserts that Christ died specifically for the elect, effectively securing their salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 illustrates this by stating that God chose His elect in Christ before the foundation of the world. This demonstrates that the redemptive work of Christ was intended for a specific group rather than universally applied to all. This teaching is further supported by passages like Romans 8:30, which outlines the unbreakable chain of salvation that guarantees the ultimate calling and justification of God's chosen ones, emphasizing the particular nature of Christ's atonement.
