What does the Bible say about whom Christ died for?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ died for His sheep and the elect, whom the Father gave Him.

According to Scripture, Christ died specifically for His sheep as affirmed in John 10:11. He laid down His life for those given to Him by the Father, as seen in John 6:39. The Lord Jesus took on the sins of His people, which includes the chosen ones mentioned in Ephesians 1:5. This concept underscores the Reformed belief in definite atonement wherein His death effectively secured salvation for those He intended to save.
