God’s kindness to families and children’s children is something He readily displays in His Word. He brought Israel out of Egypt with their children. He fed them with bread from heaven in the wilderness and their children. We are not surprised then to see God’s covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David all involving them and their children. Baptism is a sign of the new covenant, and when God announces this covenant, He promises blessing on our children. He says through Jeremiah, “They shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them” (Jeremiah 32:38-39).
