John Calvin

 John Calvin

John Calvin was a preacher that described the importance of practicing righteousness so that we are able to know that we belong to GOD Almighty. Calvinism is a religion of Christianity that states that individuals can know if they are part of the elect of GOD Almighty due to how they obey the commandments of Moses and worship GOD Almighty. We learn that this describes that individuals can know that they are part of the elect having been predestined by GOD Almighty to obtain eternal salvation because we accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, repent of sin, and obey the commandments with sincerity of heart. 

We learn that Calvinism described the manner that GOD Almighty has already decided the righteous individuals that are His for all eternity. We learn that there is the understanding that GOD Almighty gives individuals the choice to decide if they want to worship GOD Almighty or not. GOD Almighty does not force anyone to worship GOD Almighty by force. We learn that there are false religions that do not allow for autonomy and sovereignty seen in Christianity.

We learn that individuals have the choice to decide if they want to accept King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and be righteous in obedience to GOD Almighty or practice sin and wickedness. GOD Almighty uses each individual's choice and still accomplishes His purpose regardless. The difference is that for the righteous there are blessings, favor, eternal salvation, and virtues while for the wicked there is stagnation, vices, destruction, and condemnation. 

We learn that Calvinism taught that individuals could know that they are saved and considered part of the elect because they decide to practice fidelity to GOD Almighty and do not practice sin and idol worship. We learn that the righteous that are saved have been written in the Book of Life since before the creation of the earth. We know that this describes that GOD Almighty already knows the righteous individuals that are saved and also the wicked that are not saved. GOD Almighty is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent among other qualities the human mind can not understand. We know that GOD Almighty knows everything about the past, present, future, and for all eternity. We learn that we are supposed to persevere with fidelity to GOD Almighty knowing that we choose GOD Almighty above the temporary things of the world.
