Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
At what age are children accountable to The Lord?
The Bible's answer:
James
4:17 KJV
Therefore
to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
The day a young person realizes the difference between
right and wrong, begins their accountability to The Lord.
For some this may come at an earlier age, than for
others.
Witnessing to a child, yes we should! Charles Spurgeon
said “Children need to be saved, and may be saved.”
Jonathan Edwards became a Christian at the age of
five.0
Coorie ten Boom became a Christian at the age of
five.
Billy Graham became a Christian at the age of
six.

know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
15
You have been taught The Holy Scriptures from childhood, and
they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by
trusting in Christ Jesus.

Christian) taught him The Holy Scriptures.
