MARK 10:13-15 "And they brought young children unto him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for such is the Kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." (KJV)
Little children are open to all things. They are told that right is right and wrong is wrong, and knowing nothing more about it- they accept it by blind faith to be truth. Children when they are young are willing to believe anything someone tells them. They could be told that the sky is green and that water is red-and they believe it because they believe you.
Now Jesus is expressing His care for little children and picked them up and blessed them.
Jesus is also comparing the teaching of little children and their acceptance of what they have been taught with total blind faith- and belief that what they have been told is in fact true.
Now today people have been told about Jesus, the Son of God, who lived and died for the sin punishment of all men, and rose from the dead, and for them to be able to get to heaven they must believe in Jesus-being Who He said He was-with child like faith ( as a child ). Totally believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior.
JOHN 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV) A person must believe this-with child like faith. And in so doing they should do as ROMANS 10: 9,10 says to do, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."(KJV)
This must be believed with childlike faith, just as a child believes what is told him. This then shows what Jesus was saying in: MARK 10:15 "Verily I say unto you whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." (KJV)
