The scripture indicates limited atonement by being specific for whom Christ came into the flesh and identified with. Did He take on flesh to identify with all humanity? Or did He take on flesh to identify with a segment of humanity? Scripture says He came and took on the flesh humanity of the Seed of Abraham. Heb 2:14,16-17
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Now the seed of Abraham, or Abrahams seed are a chosen people Ps 105:6
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Isa 41:8
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
The seed of Abraham is His friend, and Jesus says Jn 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
So His death is limited to His friends the chosen seed of Abraham, in Christ Gal 3:29
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.18
