Calvinism

Calvinism is a branch of Protestant Christianity founded by John Calvin. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God in all aspects of life, particularly through the concepts of predestination and providence. Predestination teaches that God has already chosen who will be saved and who will be condemned, independent of individual actions. Providence refers to God's ongoing guidance and management of the universe, ensuring that His divine plan unfolds in every detail. Together, these concepts highlight a belief in God's ultimate control and purpose, influencing how believers understand grace, faith, and their lives in relation to divine authority.
