1 | Babies in heaven when they die? | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 5933 | ||
Dear Nolan, I believe that babies and small children go to heaven when they die. My reasons are the following: 1. Although all are born with a sinful nature, these children have not sinned. God is just. 2. When David's adulterous affair with Bathsheba resulted in pregnancy, the Lord struck the child ill. David fasted and prayed. When the child died, David washed his face, ate food and annointed himself. When asked why he would do such a thing, David answered, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, "Who knows, the Lord may be gracious to me, that the child may live. But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me." 2 Sam. 12:15-23. David believed his child to be in heaven, where he would follow when he himself died. I am comforted by this passage. I base my hope to see my children in heaven on this principle. |

This would be a case in point for the death of a believer's child, but not an unbeliever's. I have suffered the lost of a child. So I, too, as a believer take comfort in this passage. | ||||||
