Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will definitely not enter into it.
Luke 18:17
Jesus is of course not saying that older people cannot be saved. But, people form their basic views about the world at a young age. The heart develops just like the mind. Those who reject Christ are also influenced by their childhood.
Heavenly Father, thank You for saving us from ourselves. You alone know what is best for us. We will look to You for leadership. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
