Children's Mistakes

CHILDREN make many mistakes about Bible truth. They too often imagine that some great event must be the means of converting their souls to God, as well as of giving a direction to their future course in life.
They are prone to think that they must wait to be born again, until some particular time arrives, when they will find everything favors their conversion.
They are equally in danger of thinking that they have it in their own power to come to terms with God when they please, so that they need not trouble themselves about it now, that another day, when they are older, will do as well for them, as the day that is already throwing its shadows around them, in which to choose for themselves, whether to be “the children of God,” or continue the “children of the wicked one.” (1 John 3:1010In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (1 John 3:10)).
May God not have to say to you,
“Because I have called, and ye refused;...I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me: for they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord.” Prov. 1:24, 26, 28, 2924Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; (Proverbs 1:24)
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; (Proverbs 1:26)
28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: (Proverbs 1:28‑29).
