Isaiah 49: 24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with thee, and I will save thy children.
Difficult as it may be, some Christian parents might finally have to be reconciled to the sad possibility, that some of their kids may be lost eternally. God has promised to fight for our kids, and He does, for He invests time and energy in wooing, calling, entreating, and making it as easy for our kids to be saved.
But God does not, and cannot save persons who have come to the age of accountability against their own will, and His efforts do not cross the red line of one’s freedom of choice. Many opportunities are granted, many prayers and intercessions are made, with groanings that cannot be uttered, and God gives grace for grace, especially to the children of the righteous, but some may have to be reconciled to this fact, that God cannot save a person if they do not desire to be saved.
There is something quite sobering, in the previous verse we just read. The Bible says that Lot went out and spoke to his “sons in law” for, as the heads of their households, they would naturally have to take the lead in believing and acting upon God’s word.
Genesis 19:14 And Lot went out, and spoke unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
