Many people have a very negative view of the term Calvinism.
Most people are also ignorant of what true Calvinists believe.
This article has been written to present a clear and simple statement of what Calvinism is, along with scriptural support for it. I hope that as you read this, you will find it to be what the Bible teaches. Also, I hope that you will find the truths of Calvinism to be powerful and life-changing, which we ought to expect the truth of God to be. If you are trusting in your own goodness for salvation, you will be disappointed no matter how good you are. But if you have a desire to know God and his truth, you will be challenged and I hope moved to trust him more and rely on his sovereign grace.
