Explaining the Covenant of Redemption to a Child

When we are trying to explain this to a child we have to understand that we would have difficulty explaining this to a seminary student going for his PhD. All we need is, not to get into the depths of why, but just the fact that it is. The Father, who loves His Son more than all the world, more than countless worlds, loved His people so much that He sent His only Son.
Sometimes when I am in a debate I follow a rule: I am never going to open a can I cannot close. At this moment, children do not need to go in-depth into the mysteries of God's works and God's grace that even the greatest theologians have to admit is beyond them. What we must do with a child is to simply proclaim what is.

So a question. If a child is saved at a very young age, and grows up to be an adult that leads a bad life, did they lose that salvation or was it not real salvation?

Depends if they merely professed faith or was truly saved as in born again
