Question: Was Christ Jesus the first man that entered heaven? Did not Enoch and Elijah go there?
Question: Are children of the heathen who die in infancy, lost?
Answer: Matthew 18:1111For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Matthew 18:11) speaking of children who have not come to years of responsibility, says, “The Son of Man is come to save that which was lost.” In that verse we see that, though lost as born of sinful parents, the death of Christ who died for all, has purchased salvation for them, and for all irresponsible children of men. Luke 19:1010For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10) speaking of sinners who have sinned, says, “The Son of Man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost.” These had gone astray in sin.
