Do babies go to Heaven?
Why Do Christians...?
Sunday, May 3, 2026 -
Why do Christians believe babies go to heaven—especially when the Bible doesn’t give a direct, clear answer? In this episode, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh tackle one of the heaviest and most tender questions people ask after loss.They walk through what Scripture does and doesn’t say, looking at passages like David’s grief over his child and Jesus’ heart for little children. The guys trace how ideas like the “age of accountability” developed in church history, push back on unbiblical notions of limbo and “mild condemnation,” and point instead to God’s character—His justice, goodness, and deep love for children.They also speak directly to parents who’ve walked through miscarriage, infant loss, or abortion, reminding them that God hates death more than we do, that He has acted decisively in Jesus to defeat it, and that we can entrust our children to His kindness, not our performance.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?
