The doctrine of TULIP is affirmed through Scripture, showcasing God's sovereign grace in salvation and the necessity of Christ at its center.
TULIP, an acronym representing the Five Points of Calvinism, is deeply rooted in Scripture. Each point—Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints—shows God's sovereign grace working in the lives of believers. Key passages such as Ephesians 1:4-5 reveal God's election of believers before the foundation of the world, underscoring His sovereignty. Furthermore, TULIP emphasizes Christ as the focus of salvation, preventing the doctrine from becoming self-centered and instead directing believers’ attention to glorifying Christ alone.
