How do we know TULIP is true?

Answered in 13 sources

The Five Points of Dordrecht (TULIP) are grounded in Scripture, affirming total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints.

The doctrine encapsulated by TULIP, derived from the Synod of Dordrecht in 1618-1619, is supported by various Scripture passages that highlight the sovereignty of God in salvation. Total depravity asserts that sin has affected all aspects of humanity, making us entirely reliant on God's grace. Unconditional election emphasizes that God's choice is not based on foreseen merit but purely on His will. Limited atonement teaches that Christ's sacrificial death effectively redeems the elect, while irresistible grace shows God’s power in overcoming human resistance to His call. Finally, perseverance assures believers of their security in Christ, as noted in Ephesians 1:4-5, which states that we are chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
