INDICATORS OF MATURITY

INDICATORS OF MATURITY

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.—Hebrews 5:12-14

               Who are the mature in Christ?  According to the passage above, some of what distinguishes a person who is mature in Jesus are—

• Using their time wisely
• Teachers of God’s Word in some capacity
• Not in need of being taught the basic principles of the oracles of God again
• Not living on milk
• Not in need of milk
• On solid food
• Skilled in the Word of righteousness
• Not a child
• Mature
• Discerning
• Trained
• Constantly practicing the Word of God
• Distinguishing between good and evil

Oh, Dear Father, may we be mature in Jesus and not children.  Yes, Dear Father, may this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8TCZiy5A2A
