Limited Atonement is a theological concept primarily associated with Reformed theology and the teachings of John Calvin. It asserts that the atonement made by Jesus Christ on the cross was specifically intended for the elect, or those chosen by God for salvation, rather than for all humanity. This means that while Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for everyone, it is effective only for those who will ultimately be saved. According to this doctrine, God's grace is irresistible for the elect, ensuring that they will come to faith. This belief emphasizes God's sovereignty in the salvation process and highlights the idea that not all individuals will receive the benefits of Christ's atonement.
