What does the Bible say about the world Christ died for?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ died for the world of His elect, not for all humanity without exception but for all without distinction.

The Bible, particularly in John 1:29, identifies Jesus as the 'Lamb of God' who takes away the sin of the world. This world is not understood as every individual without exception but rather refers to the world of God's elect, those whom God chose before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). The text helps us see that the 'world' signifies those who are chosen and whom God loves—not a universal atonement for every person but a special redemption for a specific people.
