How does TULIP explain God's sovereignty in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

TULIP articulates God's sovereignty in salvation through its five points: Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints.

The acronym TULIP encapsulates key tenets of Reformed theology concerning God's sovereignty in the salvation process. Total depravity acknowledges humanity's incapacity to choose God due to sin. Unconditional election emphasizes that God's sovereign choice does not depend on human merit, but is based solely on His good pleasure. Limited atonement teaches that Christ's sacrifice was particularly intended for the elect. Irresistible grace signifies that when God calls His chosen to Himself, they cannot resist His grace. Finally, Perseverance of the saints assures us that those whom God has elected and redeemed will endure to the end. Each of these points reflects the profound sovereignty of God in orchestrating salvation, underscoring that it is entirely His work and challenging any notion of human control over divine grace.
