75. WHAT BECOMES OF THE CHILDREN?

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Do you understand that children of wicked parents who die before reaching the age of accountability will be saved in the kingdom? and how will it be with the children of righteous parents?

We do not know anything about it. God will do all things just right. The Bible is addressed to responsible, accountable beings. They are warned of danger, reproved of sin, told of the fearful curse which inevitably follows transgression, and the way of righteousness and life is revealed before them. Parents, the responsible parties, are exhorted to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and God gives many precious promises to those who will heed his instruction. It is better to teach and live the things which God has clearly revealed, than it is to speculate on what is not clearly revealed. The judgment of all rests with God, and his mercy is unbounded. He will save all who can be saved, all who are not identified with sin.
