Expecting the Kind of Authentic Love that Children Expect from God
Another childlike attribute that would be esteemed by Christ is a child's expectation to be loved, not hurt. Unless a child has been traumatized somehow, they expect to be loved and nurtured. The source of authentic ultimate love is God the Father. It is through the revelation of Father God in Christ, that one finds the source of genuine love. Believer and non-believers alike, should come in the expectation that they are loved, and that a way has been made to enter fully into that love by Jesus' ministry.

Christians Enjoy an Eternal Relationship with God as Father
When a person is saved or made whole, they have the Spirit of God inside, His incorruptible seed, which makes that person a child of God. Instantaneously taken from death to life, the person now has the spiritual blessing of an eternal relationship with God as their Father.
