Solid Food Is For The Mature
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not
acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the
mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Hebrews 5:13-14
Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about
Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of
repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about
cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do
so.
Hebrews 6:1-3
Have you thought about taking what you can by aiming low, or
letting God lead you to aim high?
If we set our sights too low, we don’t really accomplish all
that we can. Sometimes we have to aim high in order to reach the highest of
goals.
What should our aim in life be? How high should we point our
ambitions? Scripture is our only true guide, and so we should shoot for
spiritual maturity.
Perfection is a lofty target, and we won’t attain it in this
life. But if we want to honor God and get close to that high goal, we need to
aim high.
Conversion is the miracle of a moment;
maturing takes a lifetime.
