What does the term 'the elect' mean in the context of Christ's death?

Answered in 1 source

'The elect' refers to those chosen by God whom Christ specifically died to save.

'The elect' are those whom God has chosen for salvation from before the foundation of the world. In John 10:29, Jesus speaks of 'the sheep' as those given to Him by the Father, emphasizing that they are not merely any sheep, but the ones specifically chosen. This doctrine is supported by various passages, including Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that God chose us in Him before the creation of the world. Thus, Christ's sacrificial death was for these elect individuals, guaranteeing their salvation.
