Christ died (1) in a general way for all--common grace, and (2) He died specifically and effectually for the elect in both the Old and New Covenant.

Joe, could you please explain what you mean by Christ dying "in a general way for all." I know there is such a thing as common grace, but I did not think that that meant the non-elect somehow shared in Christ's blood. Perhaps I am misunderstanding you...

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
