The Tenets of Puritanism

1. The Supremacy of Divine Will: People must completely obey God. All things are possible because of God.

2. The Depravity of Man: Since Adam disobeyed God, man is naturally depraved.

3. Election: Even though man broke his covenant in the Garden of Eden, through the sacrifice of Christ, a second covenant was made. Only few would be saved, though.

4. Free Grace: Those who believe in God are visited by God's grace.

5. Predestination: God knows where people will be destined.
