If we power through obstacles on our own strength like a boss, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
If we trust our own understanding and personal abilities, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
If we love to quarrel, and strut around like know-it-alls, self-impressed by our theological insights, we are not obeying Jesus.
If we look down on others and feel superior, we are not childlike in humble teachability.
If we rely on our job, education, bank account, skills, expertise, good looks, winsome personality, charisma, or intelligence for security, we are not depending on our Heavenly Father like a child.
Luke 18:17, Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Mark 10:15, Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not* enter therein.
Matthew 18:3, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not* enter into the kingdom of heaven.
