An anonymous correspondent inquires, “What ground have you in scripture for the hope that infants do not perish?” We consider Matthew 18:10-11 perfectly conclusive as to this interesting point. We believe it to be in full keeping with the nature and actings of the God of all grace, that inasmuch as infants undergo the penalty of Adam’s sin, in the death of the body, they should participate in the benefits of Christ’s atonement, in the salvation of the soul. In a word, we heartily believe that all who die in infancy are saved through the blood of the Lamb.
