I found this statement in a booklet I am reading on Election. Will someone tell me what this statement means? I don't understand Covenant Theology, so I'm not sure what the author is talking about:<br>___________________________________________________ <br>It is true that the Bible says that Christ gave His life a ranson "for many" (Matt. 20:28), "for the sheep" (John 10:11), and for "the church" (Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:25). It should be noted, in passing, that here is a link between five point Calvinism and so-called "covenant" or anti-dispenstional theology. No one believes that Christ died for saints of this age alone, so in order to view the word "church" in such verses as Ephesians 5:25 as equivalent to "the elect of all ages" one is led to a denial of dispensational teaching. But these statements do not deny that He died for others also, and in fact are no more exclusive than are the statements, "Christ died for me," and "This is my country." <br><br>
