As
a Child
We
must be like a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
What
does that mean?
A
little child is innocent and humble, not filled with pride.
A little child does not understand
any meaning of wealth, boasting and ego.
We
must be converted as a child.
Proverbs
4;20-22
20
My child, pay attention to my words;
listen
attentively to my sayings.
21
Do
not let them depart from your sight,
guard
them within your heart;
22
for
they are life to those who find them
and
healing to one’s entire body.
23
Guard
your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the sources of life.
Mark 10;15
15 “
Truly I say
to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child
will not enter it at all.”
Matthew
18;3-4
3 and said, “Truly I say to
you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will
not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever then humbles himself as
this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew
19;14
But
Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not
hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as
these.”
1
Corinthians 4;17
For
this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child
in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in
Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
Ephesians
5;8
for
you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as
children of Light.
Philippians
2;15
so
that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children
of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and
perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in
the world.
1
Peter 1;14
As obedient children,
do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your
ignorance.
1
John 2;18
Children, it is the last hour; and
just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists
have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
1
John 3;2
Beloved,
now we are children of God, and it has not appeared
as yet what we will be. We know that when
He appears, we will be
like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
