 The treatment of children in a society is a reflection of the amount of common grace that remains. This is why Jesus instructs us to allow children to come to Him, as they exemplify the attitude of a new believer. Their innocent trust serves as a model for us to possess humility and accept God's word. Like children, we are dependent on our Heavenly Father and should approach Him with the same level of trust and vulnerability. Children lack knowledge of sin and are harmless in their actions, resembling doves. As we grow into adulthood, our trust in God often declines as we become more aware of our own role in salvation. However, observing a child's unwavering trust in their father reminds us that there is nothing that can overpower God. In a positive sense, a child exhibits blind trust.The primary focus of a child's thoughts is to satisfy their father. It is unnecessary for children to concern themselves with the fulfillment of their own necessities, as they exist in a realm where the concept of a labor-based incentive system is absent. They rely entirely on their father to provide sustenance, thus alleviating any selfish concerns regarding provision. This reliance highlights the universal nature of humanity's dependency on Fathers, mirroring the ways of God.
