Trusting God with Child-Like Faith

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.— Luke 18:17, KJV

Right after this, we see a leader come to Jesus with a question that many of us still ask today. Let's look at how Luke describes this encounter:

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.— Luke 18:18-19, KJV

The Gift of God's Sovereign Grace

It's a powerful reminder that none of us can earn our way into heaven. Our own goodness simply isn't enough. But thankfully, God's grace is. He takes our brokenness and promises to shape it into something beautiful for His glory, just as Paul reminds us in his letter to the Romans:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.— Romans 8:28, KJV
