Why would babies who die be judged?

Question:

I have a question about infants, aborted and miscarried souls, and the judgment. Are they awaiting judgment? Would there be any reason to judge them? I have had several miscarried babies, and it’s just something I’ve been wondering about, even though I know where they’re going/have gone.

Thank you so much for this website. I use it often!

Answer:

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad" (II Corinthians 5:10).

Think of Judgment Day as a time when people are sentenced. Their life determines where they go, and based on that life, Judgment Day is when we are sent to our final destination. A baby has done nothing evil and so would be sent to heaven.
