We Are Born Saved & Become Lost By Choice At An Age Of Accountability - Revelation Study (91 of 105)

Seven Plagues Part 3 - Revelation 15:7-21 - Revelation Study

An understanding of the character of God can only be realized within the harmony that comes from the sum of all its parts. This collage tells us what God isn't like and what he's all about. If we just focus on the fact that god is love in the sense of his compassion, we don't have a clear and comprehensive picture of what he is as a whole. For example: many people have said to me “You know, in the Old Testament, sometimes God would tell Israel to go out and destroy a nation—man, woman, and children. Oh, what a horrible god! How could he destroy helpless, innocent children? And he would tell the Israelites to go out there and slaughter them all! How horrible! What kind of a god is that?” Ever heard those kinds of discussions?

I just turn to them and say “Well, haven't you read about Noah's Flood? Yes! Well, has it ever dawned on you that there were children drowned in Noah's day? God drowned men, women, and children. Why? They were drowned because they refused to get on the ark. Well why kill the children, they're not responsible?” I say, “Well, don't feel bad, God is very merciful and generous and he knows who is responsible”.

And when the final judgment is rendered for purposes of eternal life, God will judge accordingly. He’s a loving God. And children who perish, whether in war or in hospital beds or in Noah's Flood, will be judged most fairly. It's my personal conviction that all children are born saved and not lost. We don't become lost until we start choosing rebellion and become accountable at an age of accountability. That age is different for different people. I believe, in God's great generosity and mercy that Jesus paid the price for all God’s children, and that includes ALL children.
