The Word of the Day – TULIP (Total Depravity)
Total Depravity is the first point in the TULIP. According to this Doctrine of Grace, mankind does not have the ability to chose God on our own. Because we are dead in our sin, we lack the ability to respond to God. It is human nature to love the darkness and hate the light. In order for anyone to be saved, God must first act and give us the ability to choose him.
