Children
In the Bible, children hold significant value and are often seen as blessings from God. The Hebrew term for children, *yeled*, and the Greek term *paidion* both convey the idea of offspring or young ones. The Bible emphasizes the importance of children in various contexts, notably in Psalm 127:3-5, where it states, "Children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward." This highlights the perception of children as gifts and a means of continuing one's lineage.Furthermore, children are used metaphorically in the New Testament to illustrate spiritual truths. For example, in Matthew 18:3, Jesus states, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." This passage emphasizes qualities such as humility, trust, and dependence that are essential for faith. Overall, children in the Bible symbolize innocence, potential, and the continuation of God's covenant with humanity, reflecting both physical and spiritual dimensions of life.
