What does the Bible say about the spiritual condition of children?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that children are valuable in God's sight and are capable of receiving grace from an early age.
Scripture indicates that the souls of young children are precious to God, and they are fully capable of receiving grace. Jesus rebuked His disciples for hindering children from approaching Him, showing His deep concern for their spiritual well-being. Several passages affirm that children, despite being born in sin, can receive the Holy Spirit and be justified from infancy. The idea of baptizing infants aligns with the Biblical understanding that children should not be denied access to God's promises and grace due to their young age.
