Children - In Some Ways Children Are Examples to Adults

Mature people must receive the kingdom of God like a small child:

Mark 10:15 

I tell you the truth; anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Luke 18:17 

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

The kingdom of God is of such:

Matthew 19:13 

Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

Mark 10:14 

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Those who do not repent and become like little children shall not enter the kingdom at all:

Matthew 18:3 

And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

They must humble themselves as little children:

Matthew 18:4 

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
In malice (evil meant) be children:

1 Corinthians 14:20 

Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
