How do we know the Five Points of Dordrecht are true?

The Five Points of Dordrecht are affirmed through a robust combination of scriptural support and theological discourse throughout the history of the church. Rooted deeply in the scriptures, these doctrines address key aspects of God's sovereignty and humanity’s condition. The Reformed tradition has consistently pointed to texts such as Romans 9 and Ephesians 1, which articulate God's purpose and divine election, as foundational affirmations of these truths.

Historical contexts, along with confessional documents, further solidify the truth of these doctrines, as they reflect ongoing debates and clarities sought concerning salvation and grace. These theological points have not emerged in isolation but rather as a response to Biblical teachings and the historical affirmation of the early church. This lineage of doctrine serves to assure believers of their validity and rootedness in a scriptural foundation that emphasizes grace and sovereignty in the redemption narrative.
