“Becometh As a Child”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Except ye be converted, and become as little children, the Savior said to those of the Old World, “ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). To the righteous remnant of Israel among Book of Mormon peoples, that same Lord declared: “Whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life and taken it up again.” (3 Nephi 9:22.)
