Deuteronomy 1:39 (ESV Strong's)
And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
Children who have no knowledge of good and evil are not accountable to the Lord for sin because they don’t and can’t know any better.
Adam and Eve were in the presence of the Lord until their eyes were opened after eating the forbidden fruit. They then saw they were naked. They became self conscious. This happens with every child of man.
We can’t choose between the two unless we have knowledge of both. Man has to choose to be made in the image of Christ. We do this by believing and following Him.
The maturation process begins with self and ends when we get beyond self and find God. That is our inheritance if we persevere and overcome the world. The blessings of heaven await.
