What does the Bible say about infants who die?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not state definitively whether all infants who die go to heaven, but it suggests a compassionate nature of God towards them.

The question of the eternal state of infants who die is not explicitly answered in Scripture, leading to various interpretations. 2 Samuel 12 raises the possibility that David believed he would see his deceased child again, reflecting a hope that perhaps the child was in a place of peace with the Lord. Throughout the Bible, God demonstrates kindness and mercy towards infants and children, as seen in passages where Jesus invites little ones to Him, indicating a loving nature towards the most vulnerable. While we cannot conclusively say that every infant is saved, we hold that if they are, it is through the merits of Christ, just as with all believers.
