King David
A man after His own Heart:
13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the command of the Lord your God, with which he commanded you. For then the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
Reigned for 70+ years because of His constant pursuit of righteousness. He sinned but continued to repent and pursue God.
27 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 28 Then he died at a good age, full of days, riches, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his place.
Was Just and Equitable
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and equity to all his people.

We All Are Guilty of Sin
We All Are Guilty of Sin
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Natural Revelation
Natural Revelation
Two people look up Psalm19:1-4 and Romans 1:18-20
1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
People are without excuse, at the end of the day, they have enough information just like Pastor David’s Analogy
Mathematically, Everyone Probably has heard of Jesus
Mathematically, Everyone Probably has heard of Jesus
Mathematically it’s not as hard as you think. Logistically, we’re cowherds
(Draw on Whiteboard)
2*33 would = 7.8 billion people
This is not for you to think well everyone has heard about Jesus so I’m good to go. This is to help you realize that the name of Jesus is the most popular and for everyone to have heard of Jesus is not hard.
We Need to Make Disciples
We Need to Make Disciples
However, we need to continue to tell people about Jesus because I ask you this, what made you stay in the church?
People need the relationship from you, the discipleship so you can continue, help draw them to Jesus.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
If all humans are evil at birth what happens to an infant child who does not have the capability nor comprehension to come to christ? Heaven or hell?

Age of Accountability
39 And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
Filled with Holy Spirit Even in the Womb
15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
David Said He’ll See His Son in Heaven
23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”
What’s most important is trusting in the Creator who is Love and Just
What’s most important is trusting in the Creator who is Love and Just
God is Love
16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
God is Just
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
Although the answer is not black and white, there is so much more hope for babies going to heaven than hell.
