Canons of Dort

The Canons of Dort are a set of theological statements created in 1618-1619 by Dutch Reformed leaders to clarify their beliefs about salvation. They emphasize that salvation is a gift from God, chosen by His grace, and not based on human effort or decision. The Canons affirm that Christ's death fully secures salvation for believers, and that God's grace irresistibly draws individuals to faith. Overall, they aim to uphold doctrines of God's sovereignty, the nature of human sin, and the assurance of salvation for those whom God has chosen.
