Why is baptism important for infants in a Reformed perspective?

In the Reformed tradition, baptism is viewed as a sign of God's covenant promises, which include not only adults but also their children. Given that Jesus welcomed children and asserted their significance in God's kingdom, the practice of infant baptism is seen as aligning with Scripture’s teaching on the importance of children in the faith community. Baptizing infants acknowledges their need for grace and the hope that they will grow in the faith entrusted to them by their parents and the church. It serves as a powerful reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, extending even to the youngest members of the Church.
