What do we mean when we mention "the age of accountability"? That concept infers that children are not held accountable by God for their sins until they reach a certain age.
Is the concept of an age of accountability biblical?
Does the Bible define an “age of innocence”?
In our Bible study today I would like to answer these three questions.
1 - Where is the "age of accountability" mentioned in the Scripture?
2 - Why do many Christians claim the age of accountability as 12-13 years old?
3 - What happens to children who die before they are old enough to understand the Gospel?
-------------------
Key Scriptures for today’s teaching: Matthew 18:1-6
Other Scriptures in this teaching: Isaiah 7:14-15; Deuteronomy 1:37-39; 2 Samuel 12:19-23;
Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living Translation
