I Will Go To Him

The sermon centers on the assurance of the salvation of infants who die in infancy, particularly those born to believing parents, drawing from Genesis 17's covenant with Abraham, Acts 2's promise to believers and their children, and 2 Samuel 12's account of David's mourning and hope for his deceased son. It affirms that covenant children are included in God's promises by virtue of the covenant of grace, not by their own faith, and that their inclusion is rooted in God's sovereign grace, not in external rites like circumcision or baptism. The preacher emphasizes that while the fate of such children is not determined by their ability to profess faith, their salvation is grounded in God's unchanging character, His covenant faithfulness, and the redemptive work of Christ, as demonstrated in David's confident hope that he would go to his child, not the child to him. The sermon offers pastoral comfort by affirming that God's sovereignty, love, and mercy remain intact even in the midst of tragedy, and that believers may rest in the certainty that God's promises to His elect—especially His covenant people—will never fail.
