How do we know that God can save infants?

Answered in 1 source

God's capacity to save infants is grounded in His sovereign will and grace, as evidenced in Scripture.

The question of infant salvation brings us to understand God's sovereignty and grace. As mentioned in the sermon, God can choose and bless whom He wills, including infants, from the foundation of the world. This was reflected in the story of David's child, whom God took to Himself after death; David assured us of this in 2 Samuel 12:23 when he said, 'I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.' Furthermore, God’s Holy Spirit is capable of granting faith even to the most helpless, as seen in the case of John the Baptist leaping in his mother’s womb upon hearing Mary’s greeting. Ultimately, God’s grace reaches those whom He has chosen, demonstrating that He can and does save infants through His sovereign decision to extend mercy.
