"Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him." 1 John 3:1 BSB
Thank You, our "Abba Father," for Loving us and calling us Your children, because that is what we are. Yes, LORD, truly nothing can separate us from your Love. Neither the forces of evil on earth or in the heavenly realms can even change that. Yes, we are forever secure in the Loving arms of our Father in Heaven, who calls us His own.
"My God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my Salvation.
My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior,
You save me from violence.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
so shall I be saved from my enemies" 2 Samuel 22:3-4 BSB
Thank you Night Owl. In regards to Matt 19:14 when Jesus said "For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" did He possibly also mean that if children die before they reach adulthood, that as innocents, they go directly to heaven?
I thought of that because I recently heard an atheist ask that if a child who was too young to have a religious belief (or is born into another faith) dies, does that child go to hell as an unbeliever? Of course, the atheist was asking in sarcasm, but it made me think about the question.
Thank You, Mark and Jenise. GOD bless you both!
GOD's children we are.

Good morning, Un-silent. 🙏🏻
It’s 6:40 am here, and I need to get ready for church. I’ll reply later when I have time to write back.
When you say “before they reach adulthood”, do you mean legal age of majority (18 years in my country)?
I don't know, he just said "child", so maybe he meant the age of understanding??
Here’s one resource for that atheist:
