What is the Age of Accountability?

What do we mean when we mention "the age of accountability"? That concept infers that children are not held accountable by God for their sins until they reach a certain age. Is the concept of an age of accountability biblical? Does the Bible define an “age of innocence”?In our Bible study today I would like to answer these three questions.1 - Where is the "age of accountability" mentioned in the Scripture?2 - Why do many Christians claim the age of accountability as 12-13 years old?3 - What happens to children who die before they are old enough to understand the Gospel?-------------------Key Scriptures for today’s teaching: Matthew 18:1-6Other Scriptures in this teaching: Isaiah 7:14-15; Deuteronomy 1:37-39; 2 Samuel 12:19-23; Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be from the NLT, the New Living TranslationIf you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know! Be sure to watch the curated playlist “New Beginnings” - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4&si=Pj84Hm2dGX57OH4Z Thank you for watching, and subscribe for new content each week.Connect with Tiff Shuttlesworth Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LostLambAssociation/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TIFFSHUTTLESWORTH/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/tiffshuttlesworLearn more about my ministry: https://lostlamb.org/ Learn more about my ministry in Canada: https://www.lostlamb.ca
