Overview: TULIP is an acronym summarizing the Reformed understanding of salvation: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints.
Theological Insight: These doctrines emphasize God’s sovereignty in salvation, the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement, and the Spirit’s power to preserve the redeemed.
Pastoral Note: TULIP is not a cold system—it is a warm assurance. It magnifies grace, humbles pride, and comforts weary saints with the promise that salvation is of the Lord.
