Heb. 12:1 says that we are “compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.” This implies that our loved ones gone before are watching us.

Yes! At the moment of conception, life begins, and to destroy life is murder (Exod. 20:13). If it is a legal abortion for the saving of the mother’s life, then this is a matter where God is understanding; but if the abortion is for a selfish reason, it is sinful.

No. Children who die before the age of accountability will go to heaven. Jesus said we are to “become as little children” to enter heaven (Matt. 18:3).

Jesus said, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matt. 24:36). However there are certain signs of His coming that Jesus said will indicate that His coming is near at hand. He said, “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors” (Matt. 24:33). The signs indicate that we are living now in the “end time.” The all-important consideration is found in Matt. 24:44. “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.”

Luke 21:36 says, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass” (italics mine). Rev. 3:10 says, “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth” Jesus said that, as it was in the days of Noah and the days of Lot, so it would be in the “days of the Son of man.” It is of significance that not one drop of water fell on Noah, and none of the fire and brimstone fell on Lot. They were delivered before the wrath of God was poured out.
