Do You Act Like a Child When it Comes to Your Faith?
Matthew 18:2-4 says, ” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “
What does it mean to have a humble and childlike faith?
To have a childlike faith is a humble faith. It is a faith that is trusting.
The humility of a child consists of childlike trust, vulnerability, and the inability to advance his or her own cause apart from the help, direction, and resources of a parent

Trust Like a Child, Think Like an Adult
1 Corinthians 13:11 says, ” When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.”
So, we are to trust and be vulnerable like a child, but we are to think, reason, and order our lives like mature adults.
