Interesting. If you have come to grasp 1,2 $4, you have 'grabbed everything'. Just a matter of time by God's grace, you will see others clearly

1 is Total depravity: Man is 100% depraved of anything pleasing to God. He is spiritually dead(deaf and blind inclusive) to the things of God. All his works, 'good' to him, are all filthy before God. He is a wretched soul who is doomed to hell if God does not intervene. Kapish.

2. Unconditional election: Christ's substitutionary death on the cross was to atone for the sins of his people and reconcile them back to God. Their election was not conditioned on anything they did or they would do but on God's will. We don't know why God chose these ones but we do know for sure that we are not the cause.

3.Limited atonement : I think i know why this is hard to swallow. 1John 2:2.. ! it is not an easy verse to tackle alone but when proper bible exegesis is done, it would be easy at the end. If redemption was made possible by His blood through death for all men , it will be a partial job done if only some are redeemed and others are not.
I pray the Lord give you understanding of this.

4. Irresistible grace :No sinner's will can truncate the will of God. God is sovereign in salvation and would find his lost child. No matter what.

5: Perseverance: The saints will be kept till the end by the power of the Holy spirit. They cannot lose their salvation, come what may. This is true and i pray you understand this truth for it will keep your mind at rest and let you look unto Christ alone for everything you need to grow in Him. Amen

Am sorry if i didn't state some of the points accurately.

Good night
