Subject: AGE OF ACCOUNTIBILITY |
Bible Note: Thak you for sharing, brothers. And you are right, it is imperitive that we reach the little ones in such a way that they can understand the gospel. I know with my grandson (who is two and a half) that they are so capable of absorbing things of God. They are not able to realize consequenses of their actions, other than the fact that they may be punished and if they do physical things to people, they can inflict harm, so until the time they see the moral implications of their words and deeds, they are not responsible for their own salvation. Praise the Lord for His blood which covers them. But when the time comes when they can understand, if they have a knowledge of God, and know that He loves them, they will be eager to ask Him into their hearts. My grandson understands that communion represents Jesus' body and the cup as His blood which He gave for us so we can go to Heaven. Very rudementary, but it is a start. Teaching him that when he does something wrong, it makes God sad is another thing we are working on. I don't believe it is ever too early to start, as long as they are taught the joy of the Lord also. Debbie |
