September 10 - Increasing Spiritual Maturity Hebrew 6:1
"Let us leave behind elementary teachings and doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God."
Let's look at these verses in the Living Bible, it kind of tell is like it is.
"Let us stop going over the same old ground again and again always teaching those 1st lessons about Christ. Let us go on instead to other things and become mature in our understanding, as strong Christians ought to be. Surely we don't need to speak further about the foolishness of trying to be saved by being good, or about the necessity of faith in God"
When our kids are young we feed them milk, but as they grow we feed them meat........or in my kids case veggies. It is very cute for babies to droll and crawl and eat baby food and cry when they do not get their on way. But it is not cute for a grown up to still be spoon fed. There comes a time when we have to grow up and head toward maturity.
We need to pray for our kids to grow in faith and become mature Christians.
