03/24/22 DON'T ROB AND DESTROY THE CHILDREN

One of my recurrent themes is that children, as recipients of God's grace (prenatal and early childhood), are not only sensitive to God's Spirit and influence, but receptive to His call.

 

This is why a child should be evangelized (told the gospel) early. The probability of a child being saved is greater at an early age.

 

Many children have heard the gospel, 

believed on Christ as Savior and grown in the Lord as they matured. If they continue to hear, learn and walk in the light of God's word, they may become mature, committed and productive believers. Sometimes the child moves away from a faith relationship with Christ, either because he or she is not provided with light and encouragement, or because he or she is drawn away by worldly desire or deterred by hardships.

 

Deformed religion boldly and fallaciously claims that the child was never saved. They call it a "fake" salvation. It is true that there are people, of all ages, who are either deceived into an intellectual or emotional commitment or they deliberately pretend to be saved.

 

However, there are some people who actually believe on Christ and begin to follow Him, but then actually fall away. Don't believe Deformed Theology, when it claims that children who get saved and then fall away, were not actually saved.

 

Each person makes his or her own choice concerning salvation. If a child does make an early commitment to Christ, and that child follows Jesus and allows the work of God to take place in his or her life, then he or she will not only maintain a child like faith, but will remain tender, kind, loving, obedient as they get older.

 

A loving and nurturing local church, home environment is essential to successful Christian development, just like a clean, healthy, providing experience is needed for the natural, the physical growth and development of a child. Give your children the benefit of a godly home and a faithful church life. Their life depends on it.

 

It is possible for anyone to turn from God at any point. But a person who is brought up in the nurture and admonition of a faithful and Biblical body of believers is more likely to survive and thrive in a Christian life.
