What does the Bible say about infants in the kingdom of God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God belongs to those who come to Him like little children, exemplifying simple faith and dependence.

In Luke 18:15-17, we read about how infants were brought to Jesus, and He welcomed them, stating that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. This passage emphasizes that entering the kingdom requires a faith that is childlike in its simplicity and trust. The characteristics of a child—dependence, humility, and eagerness to learn—mirror the necessary attitudes for anyone desiring to be part of God's kingdom. Jesus' message is clear: one must approach Him as a little child, trusting in His grace rather than relying on personal merit or rituals.
