Why do some believe that Jesus only saves a specific group of people?

Answered in 1 source

This belief is rooted in Scripture, which teaches that Jesus came to save His people specifically, as seen in Matthew 1:21.

The belief that Jesus saves only a specific group derives from passages in Scripture that emphasize His particular mission to His people. Matthew 1:21 indicates, 'For He shall save His people from their sins,' underscoring that Jesus' redemptive work is not indiscriminate but intended for those whom the Father has chosen. This doctrine of particular redemption aligns with the Reformed understanding of God's sovereign grace, asserting that Christ died effectually for the elect, ensuring that none for whom He died will be lost. This reinforces the assurance and certainty of salvation for the believer and reflects God’s sovereign plan of salvation.
