What does it mean to have faith like a child according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Having faith like a child means approaching God with humility and dependence, trusting in His revelation.

In Luke 10:21, Jesus praises the Father for revealing truth to 'babes,' illustrating that childlike faith is characterized by humility, receptiveness, and an acknowledgment of dependence on God. This teaches that those who consider themselves wise or knowledgeable often miss the truth of the gospel because they rely on their own understanding. Conversely, children have a willingness to believe without pretense, making them prime recipients of divine truth. As believers, emulating this attitude allows us to embrace God's grace and accept His salvation with joy and certainty, just as the disciples did.
