What does the Bible teach about Christ's atonement?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ died specifically for the elect, ensuring their salvation (John 10:15).

The doctrine of particular redemption asserts that Christ's atonement is aimed specifically at the elect. In John 10:15, Jesus states, 'I lay down my life for the sheep.' This indicates that His sacrifice was designed to effectively save those whom He calls His own. If Christ had died for every person without exception, then all would be saved, which contradicts biblical teaching on judgment and perdition. Therefore, the nature of Christ’s atonement provides assurance that those He died for will certainly be redeemed.
