THE ENTAIL OF THE COVENANT OR
THE SAVIOUR’S “LITTLE ONES”
BY SIR ROBERT ANDERSON

Here is a clip from the forward by Alfred Corduan
The word “entail” is a legal term meaning: “A predetermined order of succession, as to an estate or to an office,” or “something transmitted as if by unalterable inheritance.” Sir Robert Anderson makes his case that it is, emphatically, God’s will to save every child of believing parents. This does not exclude the others by any means, but we are immediately concerned with our own house. How can we “make disciples of all nations” if we cannot make disciples of our own children? Interestingly, the term “discipline” means “to make a disciple of.” Interesting, too, that the Lord always looks to the household of one professing Christ with the immediate intention of saving each there as well.

So it is here, with our little ones, that our soul winning must begin, and we may do it with the full assurance of God’s intentions and blessing. May the Lord bless each parent with much grace and wisdom to accomplish this one task, if nothing else, in our lifetime. If we can win our own for Him, our lives will have been successful – if we can’t, not much else really matters.
