What a sad day when children lose their innocence. How unspeakably sad was the day that Adam lost his innocence and brought corruption to the entire human race. Our hearts break when the children in our lives pass into the dark corridors of rebellion or violation.
We cannot save them from it, but an early encounter with Christ can, and will, spare them much heartache, if they continue on in the faith. How double sad to see them delivered from the dark domain, only to watch them as they again turn their backs on the light and the life of the One Who loved then so much that He gave His life for them.
2 Peter 2:18-22
(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
(19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
(20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
(21) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(22) But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
