We believe the Father orders and disposes all things according to His own purposes, and that He alone is sovereign. In His sovereignty, He neither authors nor condones sin. We believe He has known from eternity past those who would accept His offer of salvation. He saves all who come to Him through Jesus Christ, adopting them as sons/daughters and becoming their Father.
