Reformation Faith Today

Here is a quote from John MacArthur on the subject of infant salvation. I ran the original post in 2005.

Now listen to what I say. God has predestined all He wills into salvation, including those in infancy. That salvation is by his sovereign choice through grace alone. Though all infants deserve eternal judgment because of their guilt and corruption, their sins were paid for by the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ on the cross in which He bore the wrath of God, not only for all who could believe, but for all who could not believe. I really do believe that only those who understand true reformed theology can grasp the redemption of little ones, which fits so beautifully because it’s all of sovereignty and it’s all of grace.

MacArthur deals with this subject theologically as well as pastorally. Dear reader, I hope that if you have experienced such a loss that you might find great comfort from our great God through these words.
