R.C. Sproul’s helpful redo of the TULIP

Perhaps his version is clearer than the traditional TULIP.

  • Humanity’s radical corruption (T: Total depravity)
  • God’s sovereign choice (U: Unconditional election)
  • Christ’s purposeful atonement (L: Limited atonement)
  • The Spirit’s effective call (I: Irresistible grace)
  • God’s preservation of the saints (P: Perseverance of the saints)
