Calvinists believed that signs of divine favor and predestination to salvation could be indicated by a person's moral behavior, success in life, and a sense of inner assurance or conviction of faith. They emphasized the concept of "the elect," suggesting that those who exhibited a pious lifestyle, prosperity, and a strong personal faith were likely among the chosen ones for salvation. This belief led to a strong work ethic and a focus on living a disciplined, virtuous life.
