Because the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are perfectly united in their essence, the three persons of the Trinity must be perfectly united both (a) in their saving intentions and (b) their saving acts. What the Father wills must be what the Son wills, and what the Son wills must be what the Spirit wills. Those whom the Father intends to save must be the same exact number as those whom the Son intends to save, and those whom the Son intends to save must be the same exact number as those whom the Spirit intends to save. And since Scripture teaches (a) that the Father has chosen to save a particular people and not all without exception, and since it teaches (b) that the Spirit will regenerate that same particular people and not all without exception, it also teaches (c) that the Son has atoned for that same particular people and not all without exception. To say otherwise is to strike at the heart of the unity of the Triune God. It is to undermine the doctrine of the Trinity, the most fundamental doctrine of Christianity. Unity in the Trinity demands a particular redemption.

I love my savior

I love my savior

I love my savior

I was born in a small rural town in NC. Where every one knew every thing aboutevery one.

I got saved when I was 12 years old in a revival service.

I strayed away from God for about six years after I was saved but then asI had realized before I realized once a gain the importance of God and beinga Christian.

I am not a perfect person but through Christ I am perfectly forgiven. Godhas brought my through some very tuff situations in which I can say wouldmake even the sanest person feel a bit like they were losing their mind.

Such as when I was 9 years old I was rapped by a 16 year old and I did nottell any one until I was 13 years old about it. It was also at the age ofnine that when I started my battle with depression too and my attempts atsuicide began. In a four year period I tried six times to end my life butI was unsuccessful for God was not ready for me yet. It was not His time.It was at the age of 13 that I had started to dabble in drugs and drinkinglike a fish. I also tried to find out what love was.

Needless to say I was very promiscuous to put it lightly. To be completelyhonest I was as close to be a prostitute as any one could be with out trulytaking money and soliciting. I met my husband in January when I was 16 yearsold.

We were married In November of the same year.

I had my first child at the age of 18 and my second child at the age of 20.

I lost my only sister to a malignant brain tumor at the age of 21. At theage of 23 I separated from my husband and at 25 I was divorced from him.

Just a couple of months ago I found out that my ex-husband remarried. I alsofound out that I truly still love him.

I have lived in Rockingham NC, Wadesboro NC, Kernersville NC, Vinton Va,and Roanake Va.

I have spent most of my life trying to figure things out but I have cometo one realization and that is that I do not have the capabilities of doingthat but my God can do all things and through Him I can do any thing thatis His will. Through every thing in my life God has always been there andhe has never left me although I have strayed many times and I have stumbledalong the way but as long as I keep Him first in my life I can come throughany adversity that Satan throws my way.

Let me say this God has taught me how to love and How to accept love andHe will do the same for you if you only ask Him to. In closing I would liketo say that No matter who you are or where you are at in your life if Godcan reach a sinner like me from the depths of sin where I was then any oneat all truly can be saved. You see I am not the same person that I was thenfor through God I am a new person and truly born again.

I am dedicated to severing the Lord. I am the director of children’s churchas well as being in charge of making all of the cards for our shut-ins ofour church. I am also a counselor for children grades 1 -6.

I love my savior and I love to share His love with others.
