Calvin’s Theology (TULIP)

Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the Saints

Total Depravity

Human beings are so affected by the negative consequences of original sin that they are incapable of being righteous, and are always and unchangeably sinful; human freedom is totally enslaved by sin so we can only choose evil.

Unconditional election

since human beings cannot choose for themselves, God by His eternal decree has chosen or elected some to be counted as righteous, without any conditions being placed on that election

Limited Atonement

The effects of the Atonement, by which God forgave sinful humanity, are limited only to those whom He has chosen.

Irresistible grace

The grace that God extends to human beings to effect their election cannot be refused, since it has been decreed by God.

Perseverance of the Saints

since God has decreed the elect, and they cannot resist grace, they are unconditionally and eternally secure in that position
