    To help us understand why Adam and Eve’s children were also sinners, consider this example. ... Because we are Adam’s children, all of us are sinners, or have the same “dent” as he did.

    Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit. (Genesis 2:17; 3:6) They sinned against Jehovah, and in time they died, just as Jehovah had said they would.

    Adam and Eve’s children were sinners, so they died. (Read Romans 5:12.) To help us understand why Adam and Eve’s children were also sinners, consider this example. Imagine baking a loaf of bread in a pan that has a dent. The bread will have the same dent as the pan. When Adam disobeyed God, Adam became a sinner.

  • God allows death, but he doesn't cause it. Satan is the one who causes it. But all is not over with death. The Bible tells us;

    (John 5:28, 29) 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

    (Psalm 37:29) 29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

    (John 5:28, 29) 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

    (Acts 17:32, 33) 32 Now when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, while others said: “We will hear you again about this.” 33 So Paul left them,

    (1 Corinthians 15:12, 13) . . ., how is it that some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If, indeed, there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised up.

    (Acts 24:15) 15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

    Many people have mourned the deaths of children who have died, thinking that they did not do anything to earn it. But children are born in a sinful world, and although they did not earn death, they inherited sin from their parents, and eventually, from Adam and Eve.

    Romans 5:12

    12 That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned—.

    This is why the ransom provided by God through Jesus Christ is so wonderful and worthy of praise.

    We did not deserve it, but God gave his son.- "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8 Because of that ransom, we have the opportunity to get everlasting life in peace and happiness. This is a salvation not only from living in this wicked world, but also from seeing the misery and suffering of children and adults in it. Revelation 21:3,4

    Also, Hebrews 2:14 tells us that "through his (Jesus') death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil" With the certain future death of Satan the devil, death will be no more.

    All humans have an illness. This illness, sin, is talked about in the Bible and bluntly describes at Romans 5:12 "...through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned."

    That "one man" was none other than our first parent, Adam. If you turn in your Bible to Genesis chapter 3 and read it you will find the account and who it was who was responsible for the sin of Adam; Satan the devil was the prime cause. He is behind sin and death. Sin and its result death, is inherited and has nothing to do with the moral character of a little baby.

    But is that the end of the story? No. One of the primary things Jesus will yet do is found in the Bible book of First John chapter three. Look closely at verse 8. "......For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil."

    One of the works of the devil is causing death. Jesus will undo what Satan has done. That little baby can be one of those God will remember in the resurrection promised at Acts 24:15.

    May the parents of those little babies live for the day when all of the Devil's works will be no more. No more crime. No more wars, no more hunger. And no more death do to the sin of Adam.
