Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." Luke
18: 16-17
The kingdom of God belongs to these people-these children. Not 'they are the future of the kingdom of God' but that it belongs to them right now. In fact, Jesus goes further, by saying that no one will enter the kingdom of God unless they receive it like a child. God is the true heavenly Father, and we are all his children. Unless we are willing to receive his good gracious gift of salvation and eternal life, as a good Father giving gifts to his children, we cannot enter his kingdom.”
