What does it mean that Christ's atonement is 'limited'?

'Limited atonement' refers to the view that Jesus Christ's atoning work on the cross was specifically intended to save the elect, not every individual universally. The preacher emphasizes that this doesn't imply a failure of salvation but rather an assurance of its success for those chosen by God. This truth reassures believers that their salvation is secure and not dependent on their maintaining faith. The term should be better understood as 'successful Savior,' affirming that Christ's death effectively accomplished redemption for His people, which offers a strong foundation for the believer's confidence in their salvation.
