What does the Bible say about who Jesus came to save?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus came to save His people, specifically the elect chosen before the foundation of the world.

Scriptural references indicate that Jesus had a specific group of people in mind for whom He came to redeem. In Matthew 1:21, it is stated that He shall save His people from their sins. This is echoed in Isaiah 53:8 where it describes His suffering for the transgressions of 'my people.' The notion of a particular people is central to historic Reformed theology, emphasizing the sovereign grace of God in choosing a people for Himself. Thus, Jesus' death is not a mere potentiality but a definite and effective means of salvation for the elect.
Scripture References: Matthew 1:21, Isaiah 53:8, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, John 17:2, John 17:9
