Maturity

How can I reach the spiritual maturity I desire?

God’s Response

I couldn’t talk to you as I would to mature Christians. . . . I had to feed you with milk and not with solid food. 1 Corinthians 3:1-2

It’s like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11

Spiritual growth is like physical growth —you start small and grow one day at a time. As you grow, however, you need more nourishment. Spiritually you get this by challenging your mind to study God’s Word, ask questions about it, and seek answers through prayer, the counsel of other believers, and life’s experiences. Look at each day as a building block, and before you know it, you will be on your way to spiritual maturity.

God’s Challenge

Let us stop going over the basics of Christianity again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Hebrews 6:1
