Predestination
This belief is known as predestination. The Puritans believed that God had predestined certain individuals for salvation before the beginning of time.
The belief that God has chosen certain individuals for salvation is known as "predestination." This doctrine is a central tenet of Puritan theology, emphasizing that salvation is determined by God's will and not by individual actions or merits. Puritans believed that the "elect" were predestined to enter heaven, which instilled a sense of both assurance and anxiety about one's spiritual state among believers.
The Puritans were religious by their belief that they were chosen by God for a special purpose and that they must live every moment in a God-fearing manner.
