Title [Happy Today] Children's view of salvation
Contents
John 3:3-5
We must think carefully about the salvation of children. Because children are the same souls as adults. Let's take a look at the salvation of children.
First, we must be born again of water and the Spirit. In verse 5, Jesus says that unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. According to the words, ‘be born again of water and the Spirit’, it means that we receive Jesus as our Savior when the Holy Spirit dwells in us. In other words, children can be saved only through Jesus Christ.
Second, we must train to experience God. Children need to be trained in faith just like adults. Eli's sons were condemned even when they were young. Being young is not an excuse. Samuel worshiped God even when he was young. So, I became a person of blessing loved by God.
Third, the family must be the cradle of faith growth. Deuteronomy 6:7 tells us to teach our children diligently and preach the Word. The Jewish home is the concept of a temple and their power is, after all, the home. But the reality in our homes is very different. Is it because your child is still young, so he has a lot of free time? Our circumstances with the Jews are similar. If there is another, it is the difference between teaching the Bible at home and not. We must know that the soil of faith is the family.
Fourth, we must know that the faith of the parents is the faith of the children. Ephesians 6:4 tells us to bring up our children in the discipline and admonition of the Lord. Parents are the best faith teachers and mentors. Good parents are those who, like Jews, pass on a legacy of faith. It is more important to instill the idea of neo-capitalism than to satisfy your children.
Fifth, children also need faith in the Word, prayer, and hymns. Jews go to church with their children. Because of this, the generation gap is bridged by natural fellowship. Our parents, too, should throw away the belief that is separate from their children and naturally attend worship together.
Sixth, home education centered on the church should take place. Matthew 16:18 says, “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”
The saints will be protected through the Church of God on this earth and will be led to heaven. When faith collapses, everything collapses. Jewish culture revolves around the church. Church-centered home education should be done for us too.
Seventh, we must keep it according to the Bible. Matthew 28:20 says, “Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” The goal of church education, ministry, and home education ultimately boils down to keeping what the Lord has commanded. We need to instill the last command of Jesus in our children so that their vision will burn.
