The Word Will Cause You to Mature
Dr RJ Sing
“For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness, because he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.”
As you begin to study God’s Word, you have to put it into practice in your life. The Word of God will cause you to mature and give you wisdom beyond your years. You will cease to live an “up and down” life once you are mature.
After you are Born Again and grounded in the basics of Christianity, you must go onto maturity by leaving the elementary teachings of the Word. The word for perfection (Greek. Teleiotes) has both an absolute and a relative sense. This is God’s will and plan for your life, that you do not remain a babe in Christ, but that through the Word of God you mature in the faith. That is why it is so important for you to attend all the Church services in your local Church.
It is through the preaching, teaching and instruction that you can grow in faith. Make every effort not to miss services. It is God’s plan for you to receive teachings through your local Church, so that the end result is that you are brought to maturity. Be ready for the meat of the Word, which through constant consumption brings you to maturity in your Christian life. Do not be slow to learn and as you learn leave the elementary truths behind.
