The Bible offers comfort and hope, especially concerning the future and the hope of heaven. While it does not provide explicit details about all our personal situations, including specific assurances about whom we will see in heaven, it does offer principles that can guide us in understanding God’s love and mercy.

Jesus showed a special affection for children during His time on earth, emphasizing their value in the Kingdom of Heaven. In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” This passage reassures us of God’s profound love for children and His desire for them to be with Him.

The Bible also speaks of a future where God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no more death, sorrow, or crying (Revelation 21:4). This promise of a new creation free from pain and separation gives us hope that the relationships that matter most to us, marked by love and joy in this life, will find their fulfillment in God’s presence.

In the context of salvation, it is believed that children who pass away before they are capable of understanding and making a decision about faith are received into God’s loving arms by His grace, though the specifics of this belief can vary among different Christian traditions.

Ultimately, our hope in heaven is grounded in our relationship with Jesus Christ and His promise of eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 3:16). As we hold onto this hope, we can trust in God’s perfect justice and mercy, believing that He will make all things right in His time.

While we may not have all the answers now, we can rest assured in the nature of God, who is love, and His promise of a future where we will be fully united with Him in love and joy.
