Solid Food Is For The Mature
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need
someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You
need milk, not solid food! 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 5:12-14
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.
Hebrews 6:1-2
What level are you at with your knowledge of Jesus Christ? Are
you at the simple level with the basic truths, or have you gone deeper to find
out the truths given to us in the Bible?
If you do not sink your teeth into deeper truths and more
difficult passages, you will lack Biblical understanding. Your faith will be
simplistic and you will not be able to discern right from wrong.
Have you progressed to solid food? Is this spiritual discernment
evident in your life? Or are you still on spiritual baby food?
Apply yourself to the Scriptures and the
Scriptures to yourself.
