I will use this short definition and following clip as a starting point to define the “U” in TULIP.
If this definition and explanation does not properly explain the intent of the Reformers and misrepresents their intent, then I will be glad to remove it, and replace it with what seems to be right.
This is from the Calvinist Corner - The Five Points of Calvinism
God does not base His election on anything He sees in the individual. He chooses the elect according to the kind intention of His will (Eph. 1:4-8; Rom. 9:11) without any consideration of merit within the individual. Nor does God look into the future to see who would pick Him. Also, as some are elected into salvation, others are not (Rom. 9:15, 21).
