I’m really looking forward to reading the remainder of this series.

A child who dies is in the merciful hands of a gracious God. God is more gracious then we could ever know. The Cross manifests this truth of a loving Lord and Creator.

God does what he wants with His creation. He is sovereign, not us. And His lovingkindness is beyond explanation.
Surely He is holy, and all humans are born in sin, but God makes the call, of who receives mercy, and who doesn’t.

We simply bow our kneee to a holy and all powerful God, who revealed His love for mankind, when He gave His only Beloved for people who hate Him.

There are difficult things about God we can never know completely. I don’t know if that helps or not.
God bless, and have a blessed Lord’s Day.

However, what I am not sure about is how we can be guilty from birth and claim a theology called the “age of accountability.” How do you explain to a mother who just lost a child that because her baby never had the opportunity to repent that her baby is condemned because “all have sinneddans fallen short of the glory of God”?

Any help from my brothers or sisters would be most helpful here.

In Christ,
Richard

What would one say if he was to eneter heaven, and God said, “why should you deserve to enter?”
What should be our answer?

“I don’t in any way deserve to”.

Looking forward to the next few posts.
