What does the Bible say about Jesus dying for the elect?

In John 10:14-15, Jesus declares, 'I am the good shepherd, and I lay down my life for the sheep.' This underscores the sovereign grace doctrine that Christ’s atoning sacrifice was intentional and particular, aimed at saving those whom the Father had given Him. This perspective emphasizes that His death is not a mere possibility for universal salvation, but a certain redemption for His chosen ones. If Christ died for someone, they will be saved, as His death is effective and not contingent on the individual's actions.
