Deep dives
Understanding Calvinism and Predestination
Calvinism and predestination in the Reformed tradition emphasize God's sovereignty and the believer's confidence in God preserving faith. The doctrine does not negate free will but focuses on God's control over salvation, providing assurance to believers that their faith is secure. This view contrasts the belief that one's works earn salvation, highlighting a confidence in God's work in believers' lives.
