Everything that I own, do, or am belongs to God. When I sin, the Lord says, “That's on me, I paid for that!” (1st John 2:1-2). This is why we read in Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Jesus considers any good or bad, done for or against a child of God, as if it were done unto Him personally. What a loyal Savior! What a precious friend that sticketh closer than a brother! Ah, listen my friend, I highly recommend that you treat Christians nicely.

And whatever you do, don't ever hurt a child of God. Contrary to popular belief, the following Scripture applies primarily to Christians, not children. Matthew 18:6, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Not all children believe in Christ, and all young children have not yet reached the age of enlightenment (i.e., old enough to understand receiving or rejecting Christ as Savior). To BELIEVE on Christ, a child must be old enough to understand the concept of sin against God, and that Christ died on the cross for their sins, and raised up bodily three days later. Obviously, this Scripture is referring to Christians. It would be silly to claim that God cares about saved children more than unsaved children, which is exactly what you would be claiming if you said that this passage refers to children. Granted, there is no doubt that children are precious to God, and anyone who harms an innocent child will be fully held accountable by God on judgment day!!!
