We continue to follow the footnotes from "little child" in 1 Kings 3:7.
When the Savior appeared to the Nephites in America, he taught them that all of us need to have the attitude that Solomon had when he first became king. In order for Christ to receive us we must repent and come unto Him "as a little child." Indeed, "of such is the Kingdom of God."
It is not a natural state for us human beings though. We have to "become as a little child." Becoming implies that it is a process of change, a process that is evidently bound up with the processes of repentance (realizing that we need to change, and beginning to make a real effort to turn our lives around) and of commitment to a new, Christ-centered way of life (represented by the ordinance of baptism).
