So, I have a question that's been on my mind recently.
is it bad if someone were, as a young child (like 5 or 6 years old), to get saved mainly because they didn't want to go to hell? I only ask because, well that's why I got saved. I was about 6 years old, and I repented of my sins, mainly because I didn't want to go to hell, not because I truly desired to serve Christ. But as a much older adult I realize that seems wrong. As I got older naturally my perception changed, and I learned that is not what it is about, It's about serving Him because he truly deserves it, and because I want to please him, and not myself. and to glorify and praise him above all other things.
