The TULIP model
The TULIP model is a way to understand the core beliefs of Calvinism, a branch of Christian theology. It summarizes five key points: Total depravity (humans are inherently sinful), Unconditional election (God chooses people for salvation without conditions), Limited atonement (Christ's sacrifice is intended for only the elect), Irresistible grace (God's call to salvation cannot be refused), and Perseverance of the saints (true believers will continue in faith). Together, these points explain a perspective on how salvation works, emphasizing God's sovereignty and grace in the process of salvation.
