How does Isaiah 53 support the doctrine of limited atonement?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah 53 supports limited atonement by stating that Christ bears the iniquities of many, not all.

The doctrine of limited atonement asserts that Christ died specifically for the elect, a view underscored in Isaiah 53, particularly in verse 11 where it says, 'he shall bear their iniquities.' This implies a select group for whom Christ's sacrifice is intended, reinforcing the belief that not all are included in the atonement. Recognizing the specific nature of Christ's atonement helps to affirm the effectiveness of His work in saving those whom God has chosen, rather than a universal application that leaves room for uncertainty regarding salvation.
