Further to the article on being as a child I would submit that we become as a child in Christ by being humble, meek, lowly in heart, submissive, trusting, desiring to learn, having a broken heart and a contrite spirit, in order to reach our true protential as sons and daughters of God.


Perhaps, I would submit that we cannot become as
a "little child" by being humble, meek, lowly in heart,submissive, trusting, desirous to learn, having a broken heart and contrite is spirit, because such is simply beyond us. Being humble is impossible by an act of will or striving.

"Being as a little child" means all facets of that state, which is hardly ever touched on by Christians: to them it is just humility.

It is if you by go your own understanding. It is not sin that separates us from God but thought. If nothing is impossible with God, no one goes to hell, for God is love and he will unfreeze all hearts.
