If the kindness of God leads us to repentance, this surely is central to how we raise our children. The law was put in place as a guardian only to the Jews. We must not confuse loving correction with the heresy of preparationism, that being a misguided belief that putting the moral law on someone is a necessary preparation to receiving the gospel. Jesus was the full embodiment of the gospel - to adults and to children. Kindness includes correction and rebuke, but always from a kind heart, seeing danger further down the road. Religion has set more children on a pathway of rebellion than all the forces of hell.

Amen. How man foolishly loves the law and thinks it capable of salvation!
Grace is what we need. Grace is what we should preach. Grace is what we should give.
