Biblical Answer

What will happen to my kids after I'm gone?

The Sovereignty of God

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all creation, including the lives of our children. This means that God has a plan for their lives, and His plan is good and perfect (Romans 8:28). When we leave this life, our children will continue to live, and God will guide and direct them according to His will. This can be a comfort to us, knowing that our children are in God's hands, even when we are no longer present to guide them.

The Impact of Our Influence

As parents, we have a significant influence on our children, and this influence can continue even after we are gone. Our children will carry the values, principles, and faith that we have instilled in them, and these will shape their decisions and actions in life. In fact, our prayers for our children can be a powerful force in their lives, even after we are gone. This means that we should be intentional about praying for our children, that they would grow in their faith and make wise decisions.

The Hope of a Blessed Legacy

Finally, we can take comfort in the hope that our children will one day bless us back. The Bible teaches that children can be a blessing to their parents, and that this can be a source of joy and fulfillment (Psalm 127:3-5). While we may not see this in our lifetime, we can trust that God will work this out according to His plan. This means that we should not be discouraged if our children do not immediately follow in our faith or make the decisions we would like them to make. Instead, we can trust that God is working in their lives, and that they will one day bless us in ways that we cannot even imagine. The Bible teaches that our children will continue to live and be guided by God's plan. Our influence can continue to shape their decisions and actions, and our prayers can be a powerful force in their lives. We can take comfort in the hope that our children will one day bless us back, and that God will work this out according to His plan. This can give us peace and confidence, even in the face of uncertainty.
