Who Needs To Be Saved?


There are people who don't need to be saved.  Who are they?  While they were married to other people David and Bathsheba had sex.  Bathsheba's husband later died in battle.  Bathsheba had a baby who became sick.  David prayed the baby would live.  It died.

The servants asked David why he ate after the baby died.  David replied, "But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast?  Can I bring him back again?  I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."

Babies and young children have not reached the age of accountability.  God does not hold them accountable for their wrongs.  When they die the are not held responsible.  They are taken to heaven.  They will be young adults in the rapture with new, adult bodies.

There is an age of accountability for every person who lives beyond that age.  He or she is then held responsible for his or her sins.

Isaiah 53:6 says, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way...."

Romans 7:9 says, "For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died."  No, he or she did not die physically.  We all died in that we were held accountalbe for our sins from that day forward.

Romans 5:12 adds, "...and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."  Death comes because we all sin.

Because of sin and death is why Jesus suffered, died and rose again to save us from hell.  Revelation 22:17 says, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.  And let him that heareth say, Come.  And let him that is athirst come.  And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
