___________________________________________ -- Answer: "theirs is the kingdom of heaven" -- Concerning these little children, Jesus states that the kingdom of heaven belongs to them, indicating to us of the "safe" or "innocent" state in which they are in. We can, thefore, rest assured in knowing that any little infant that dies before reaching an age of accountability will end up in heaven. Christ further pointed out that if we want to enter heaven, we must become like little children (Matt. 18:3); which does not mean that we act immaturely, but that we become "innocent" (through the blood of Christ) and also have a childlike faith or dependence upon God in heaven. ...being childlike with these qualities is one thing -- but being childish is another. ___________________________________________
