What is particular redemption in Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

Particular redemption is the belief that Christ's death effectively secured salvation specifically for the elect.

Particular redemption, also known as limited atonement, is a core tenet of Reformed theology. This doctrine posits that Jesus Christ’s atoning sacrifice was deliberately intended for those whom God has chosen to save. As articulated by Jellett, this concept asserts that Christ's death was not merely an abstract provision but specifically applicable to the elect, effectively securing their redemption. This stands in stark contrast to any notion that Christ died for all indiscriminately. Scriptural passages that support this doctrine include Ephesians 1:4-5, which speaks of believers being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, highlighting God's sovereign plan in the redemption process.
