There are many reasons I am faithful to the Church of Jesus Christ, one of them being that no other church has a better answer about the salvation of children.
If you have ever had the privilege to give birth to one of God's children you know the joy and the awe that accompanies the sweet innocent bundle. I cannot imagine a God who would send His own Son to suffer and die for our sins would condemn the innocent.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints teaches that the Atonement covers the original sin and that children are born innocent and they are incapable of sin. We even reach further and believe that we cannot be held accountable for that which we do not know. So all the billions of children and people who are born without a knowledge of Jesus Christ cannot be condemned for not accepting He of whom they do not know.
We believe all will have a chance to hear and understand the truth and the ability to choose for themselves to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, if not here in this life, in the next.
No other church has a better answer about the salvation of babies.

I am excited to see this blog! I think it's a great idea. I am also grateful that you feel the way you do about children, motherhood and of course, the prophet Joseph Smith. I have such wonderful memories of you! Hope you are well and happy. Love, Sis. Cramer (philipkristine@comcast.net)
Sis. Cramer, I think of you often. Yes, we are doing well. I hope to continue adding pieces of my testimony to this blog.
