How do we know the promise in Proverbs 22:6 is true?

Answered in 1 source

The promise is anchored in God's faithfulness, assuring that if He trains a child through believers, that child will not depart from Him.

The promise found in Proverbs 22:6 is rooted in the assurance of God's sovereignty over salvation and the effectiveness of His word. When parents diligently teach their children the ways of the Lord, they are participating in God's plan for their spiritual growth. The passage guarantees that when God is the one training the child, He will keep them from departing from His truths. This reflects the theological understanding that genuine salvation is secure, as the believer is sustained by God’s power throughout their life. The Apostle John states that those who belong to Christ will not fall away as they are kept secure.
