TULIP (theology)

TULIP is an acronym representing five key points of Calvinist theology regarding salvation. - **Total Depravity:** Human nature is completely affected by sin, making us unable to choose God on our own. - **Unconditional Election:** God's choice to save certain people is based solely on His will, not on their actions. - **Limited Atonement:** Jesus died specifically to save those God has chosen, not everyone universally. - **Irresistible Grace:** When God calls someone to salvation, they cannot resist His grace. - **Perseverance of the Saints:** Those truly saved will continue in faith and will not permanently fall away.
