P..preservation and the perseverance of believers
T in tulip stands for the fact that man is born in sin thus
is sinful in all his ways, intellect, will and affections.He is dead
in sin. Gen 8:21 "Every inclination of his heart is evil from
childhood." Eph. 2:1 "You were dead in your transgressions and sins."
U stands for the unconditional election of man by God. Not all
who are born are of the Elect. John 15:16 "You did not chose Me, but
I choose you and appointed you that you should go and bear
fruit" Acts 13:48 "And all who were appointed for eternal life
believed"
L is for limited atonement. It states in the Bible many times
that Christ came for HIS sheep. Matt. 1:21 "You are to give him the
name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.
Romans 8:30 "Those He predestined, He also called: those He called,
He also justified,and whom He justified, these He also glorified."
I is for the irresistible grace of The Holy spirit. What this
means is that when the Holy Spirit comes to make a person a new
creature, that person is unable to resist or prevent the work of
the Spirit. Christ promises in John 6:37 "all that the Father
gives me will come to me."
P is the preservation and perseverance of Believers. Once the
Spirit has you, you will not fall from faith and be kept by God.
That does not mean you will not fall into sin, just that you will
not fall from Grace. John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and
they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand."

......seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son,
......nor you daughter, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
......For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the
