What does the Bible say about universal atonement?

The doctrine of universal atonement is contested within Christian theology. While some argue that Christ died for all humanity, the Reformed perspective maintains that His death specifically atoned for the sins of the elect. This is drawn from scripture, which emphasizes that Jesus either fulfilled the Law for sin completely or did not atone at all. If Christ atoned for every individual, it would follow logically that all should be saved, thus contradicting the existence of eternal judgment. Scriptures such as Hebrews 10:10 affirm that Christ's sacrifice not only sanctifies but perfects those for whom it was offered, highlighting that this offering applies to the elect alone. Therefore, the teachings of the Bible underpin a particular atonement aimed at ensuring salvation for the chosen ones, as stated in Romans 8:28-30.
