I quite honestly don’t remember… I remember doing a lot of personal research and debate on the subject back inundergrad, but I’m unsure what finally convinced me. Currently what I find the strongest argument, though, is that I am more able to trust in God than in myself; I can’t hope in my own will for my perseverance.
I had never really explored calvinism seriously until college. At that point I was like a 3 point calvinist.
Then eventually 4. Then eventually reading the Bible and listening to how John Piper described limited atonement won me over. I was also attending a calvinist church at the time… So I’m sure that helped a good bit.
For me it was in university, where on my first Sunday I went where the groups heading to churches were congregating and followed the first group I came across. In the providence of God, that group went to a presbyterian church with good Bible teaching (although I didn’t know it was a presbyterian church and I didn’t know what Presbyterianism was at that time). It was through the teaching I received there, and seeing it was consistent with the Bible that I came to be convinced, although it took a while before I stated such. I particularly like the way the Canons of Dort present the doctrines of grace.
