Who are the sheep that Christ died for?

Answered in 1 source

The sheep that Christ died for are the elect, chosen by God whom He specifically calls His own.

In John 10:11, Jesus identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. This indicates a particular group, the elect, chosen by God. Jesus explains that not all people are His sheep; rather, those who belong to Him will hear His voice and follow Him. This doctrine of election assures believers that Christ's atoning sacrifice is intended for specific individuals whom God has called, thus reinforcing the security of their salvation and peace through Him.
