What does the Bible say about becoming like little children?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus teaches that one must become like a little child to enter the kingdom of heaven, emphasizing humility and dependence on God.

In Matthew 18:3, Jesus states, 'Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.' This declaration emphasizes the necessity of spiritual conversion and the quality of humility characteristic of children. Children are entirely dependent, trusting, and honest, reflecting the heart posture required of believers toward God. To be converted entails a profound inward change, making us reliant on Christ for our salvation and transformation.
