What does it mean to become like little children in faith?

Answered in 1 source

To become like little children in faith means approaching God with simplicity, trust, and humility.

Becoming like little children in faith is about adopting a posture of humility, dependence, and trust in God. In Matthew 18:3, Jesus instructs us to be converted and to come to Him like little children, which signifies a genuine recognition of our helplessness and need for His grace. Children depend on their parents for everything, reflecting the same dependence Christians must have on God. This childlike faith does not imply naivety but rather an honest and sincere acceptance of God’s kingdom and His ways. Furthermore, it involves a willingness to learn from God, to accept His truths without the pride that complicates our understanding, thereby embracing the simplicity and authenticity of faith in Christ.
