How do we know that children can receive grace?

Answered in 1 source

Children, according to Scripture, are capable of receiving grace from an early age.

The Bible emphasizes that all individuals, regardless of age, are born in sin but are nevertheless capable of receiving grace. As illustrated in Luke 18:15-17, the very act of Jesus inviting children to Himself affirms that they are not only welcome but also eligible for His blessing. The fact that Jesus shows concern for young children indicates that they are spiritually valuable and responsive to divine grace. Furthermore, throughout Scripture, there is a consistent theme that God’s grace abounds even to those who are unable to articulate their faith, including infants. This understanding must guide our approach to children's ministry and their inclusion in the church.
