God delivered His Son for His elect, those who are in Christ and recipients of His grace (Romans 8:32).
In Romans 8:32, Paul specifies that God delivered His own Son 'for us all.' However, understanding 'us all' correctly is crucial; this refers to the elect, those whom God foreknew and predestined for salvation. The epistle is addressed to believers, thus indicating that the scope of Christ's sacrificial death is limited to those God has chosen. In John 10, Jesus mentions that He lays down His life for the sheep, underscoring that His redemptive work is particular and effectively applies only to the elect. Therefore, the sacrificial giving of Christ is particular to God's chosen people, emphasizing God's sovereign grace in salvation.
