"Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4just
as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5He
predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to
Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6to
the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely
bestowed on us in the Beloved,"
(Eph. 1:3-6, NASB) |

Calvinism, also known as
Reformed theology, is a system of biblical
interpretation that focuses on the supreme
sovereignty of God, His majesty, His holiness, etc.
It relates this to man's fallen, sinful nature.
Because of the great chasm between God and man and
because of man's sinfulness, God must predestine
people into salvation...or none would be saved.
Therefore, salvation is the work of God and we are
the recipients of His gracious election.
To God be the glory.
