Scripture instructs is to come as children, or as empty vessels. So that God can teach us and form his truth in each of us. Only by coming as totally empty vessels, with no understanding or preconceived ideas of what we believe or are taught in this world, can he use us and teach us truth. This is what prevents us from being formed in His image. We must then learn his law to live a holy life. This is the reason we are having so much trouble in the world. The world will try to teach us it’s righteousness and cause us to sin and live a life of lawlessness. That is the battle we face. To learn God’s law and live a life for Him or learn the way of the world and live a life of lawlessness building the kingdom of the antichrist.
