Luke 18:15-17 says this:
15 Now they were also bringing [even] babies to Him that He might touch them, and when the disciples noticed it, they reproved them. 16 But Jesus called them [the parents] to Him, saying, Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such [as these] belongs the kingdom of God. 17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not accept and receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a little child [does] shall not in any way enter it [at all].
Notice that this says the kingdom of God and not the kingdom of Heaven! The kingdom of Heaven is a place! It is the place where Jesus of Nazareth sits at the right hand of God the Father! The kingdom of God is a "method"! It is the Greek word "basileia", which means: royal power, kingship, dominion, rule, royalty. Those who do not receive the Word of God with simple, trusting, childlike faith, cannot even hope to operate in the power of God! AS born again believers, Heaven is our certain home when we leave this earth! While we are still living on the earth, however, we need to know HOW to operate in such a way as to bring Glory to the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible. Remember, "you can do ALL THINGS through Christ who infuses you with inner strength (Philippians 4:13)"! AMEN!Here is Hillsong with "The One Who Saves":
Shalom in Him!
