Bible Question: A baby can not choose Jesus as his Lord, so how could it go to heaven. |
Bible Answer: Hi Prince... Babies are not capable to understand that they are sinners and in need of a saviour. So we can say that it is posable that God will apply saving grace and the payment that Christ payed on the cross to those who are not capable of understanding what that means. The Bible is not explicit on this so we shouldn't be dogmatic about it, but we do know God is loving kind and just in all things he does. The best place in the Bible that addresses this issue is 2 Samuel 12:21-23. King David's child was very sick and David fasted and prayed for his baby, asking God to be geacious. But when the baby died, David stopped fasting and cleaned himself up and eat a meal. His servants asked him what was going on and, David said the baby was dead and could not come to him but he would go to the baby. This would seem that David believed that the baby was in Heaven and when David went to Heaven he would see that baby. But again the Bible is not explicit about this so we really don't know for sure, though we do know for sure that God will do what is right just and loving in everything He does. John |
