>If you do not turn around and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18: 3

>Desire, as newborn children, the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up for salvation.
1 Peter 2: 2

### In the Bible, children serve as a reference in three fundamental fields:
---

* Conversion: we can only enter the kingdom of God if we renounce our pretensions. This was the answer given by Jesus to his disciples. Nicodemus, a specialist in Hebrew religion, had to learn that his knowledge, even in this field, could not help him to understand the message of Christ. "It is necessary to be born again", to become spiritually as a child, to receive eternal life as a gift from God.

*Spiritual growth: as the newborn needs milk to grow, so the believer needs to feed on the Word of God (1 Peter 2: 2). Faith is strengthened through its reading (Romans 10:17). Through it the believer can make good decisions (Psalm 119: 105). And through her he also finds true joy (Psalm 119: 162).

* Praise: when Jesus entered the temple in Jerusalem, the religious leaders were outraged at the exclamations of praise of the children who unknowingly fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 8: 2, VM: "From the mouth of the little ones, and of those who suck, you have commanded praise. " Those who had the official authority did not discern who Jesus was and the honor that was due him, but God wanted him to have a testimony, and for that he used an unexpected means: children.

### Being born again and growing in faith lead naturally to the praise that God expects of each of his children (John 4:23).
