How do we know that particular atonement is true?

Answered in 1 source

Particular atonement is supported by numerous scriptural references identifying a specific people for whom Christ died.

Particular atonement, the belief that Christ died specifically for the elect, is underscored throughout scripture, primarily in passages like John 10:26, where Jesus states that some do not believe because they are not His sheep. This distinction clarifies that not everyone is included in His redemptive work. Additionally, scriptures such as Isaiah 53:8 and Hebrews 10:14 reiterate that His atoning sacrifice was for a chosen people, further confirming the nature of His death as being limited in scope to those whom He was sent to save. The implications of His work must recognize that He does not fail in His purpose, reinforcing the truth of particular atonement.
