Grace. Puritan beliefs were influenced by John Calvin, one of the great Protestant reformers, and can be defined by four general Calvinistic principles.
1. The absolute sovereignty of God (that He is all-powerful) and His Providence (His involvement in the affairs of men).
2. Original sin and the total depravity of man. Since the Garden of Eden, man has been born in sin, and he is totally unworthy of God's grace.
3. Because free will was lost through original sin, God predestines man's fate (predestination), and even 'though man is unworthy, God will choose some men for salvation (election).
4. God's grace is revealed through The Bible.
