What does it mean to be among those for whom Christ died?

Answered in 1 source

To be among those for whom Christ died means to be part of His elect, forgiven and assured of eternal life.

Being among those for whom Christ died signifies being part of the covenant community, called and set apart by God before creation. It assures believers that their sins have been atoned for, as articulated in 1 John 2:2, where it states that He is the propitiation for our sins. This means that His death fully satisfies God's justice, allowing those He represents to enjoy a reconciled relationship with Him. Recognizing oneself as one for whom Christ died instills a sense of ownership regarding their redemption, granting peace and assurance in the believer's salvation journey, defined by ongoing trust in His finished work.
