The Bible teaches that Christ's death was effectual, meaning it accomplished salvation for a specific people.
Scripture consistently emphasizes the particular nature of Christ's death as being effectual for those whom He was sent to save. For instance, Isaiah 53 articulates that it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, making Him a sacrifice for sin, indicating that His death was purposeful and aimed at a specific outcome: the salvation of those chosen by God. To understand the effect of Christ's death, one must recognize that it is not merely a historical event, but a divine act that ensured satisfaction of God's justice and a means of redemption for the elect, highlighting the depths of His grace and mercy.
