  3. “Safe in the Arms of God” John MacArthur

  4. What is the Big Picture for Humanity? and Children? • All Children are conceived and born as sinners. (Ps. 51:5) • The Salvation of every person is a matter of God’s grace, not man’s works. (Eph. 2:8-9) • We are saved by the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ on the cross- the supreme manifestation of God’s grace. (Romans 3:24-26) • We are saved by grace, but “damned” by works. (Rev. 20:11-15)

  5. How does God regard children? • Generally • The weak • Job 4:3, 26:2 • Psalm 82:3-4 • The heathen • Jeremiah 19:4-5 (the innocent) • 1 Kings 14:9-13 • Children specific • James 1:27

  6. How does God regard children? • Children specific • Mathew 18:1-10 • “He called a child to Himself” • The near demonstrative, “these.” • Matthew 19:13-15 • Mark 10:14-16 • “He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.”

  7. Some points of interest Calvinism* Infant Baptism* No example in scripture of an infant being baptized Household baptism is assumed because of belief This is state-church theology of traditionally-named vicars *This does not represent Covenant traditions • God is sovereign • God’s sovereignty is exhaustive • God predestines • God imputes the righteousness of His Son • God elects children to die and go to heaven • *Ironically it is often so-called Calvinists that would deny Children entrance into heaven

  8. Some points of interest Children at the Rapture 2 Samuel 12:23 Not a discounted passage David is repentant and walking with God David mourns for the sick child, but is assured in his death David assumes he will see that child again • Called a time of great tribulation (Matt. 24:21) • This will include women and children (Matt. 24:19)

  9. In Review • All humans are equal in sinfulness and need • Christ is the Answer • God regards the weak and the weary • Christ focused on Children • Be like them • Take care of them • They are/will be blessed • David made sane assertion that his Child would be in Heaven

  10. Matthew 19:14 DO CHILDREN GO TO HEAVEN WHEN THEY DIE?YES!!!
