HEBREWS 5:12-6:2
Have you ever tried baby food? I have. It is sometimes awful. But babies have no other choice because they do not have strong teeth. They certainly cannot eat a good juicy meat!
Unfortunately, some Christians are okay with spiritual baby food. They like to skip the simple truths of the scriptures and cannot go beyond the basics of the gospel (Hebrews 6:12). When faced with difficult Bible truths and passages, they lack the understanding and conviction to make the right decisions. They may have been Christians for many years, but their spiritual capacities are still underdeveloped. They are still babies.
As children grow physically, they learn to eat solid foods that give them strength and vitality. Likewise, every believer must take responsibility for eating solid spiritual food. Failure to do so is to remain spiritually weak and undernourished.
You can roughly tell people’s physical age from their appearance. Their spiritual age is shown in their ability to distinguish good from bad and in their personal character, which is revealed day by day.
Is this spiritual discernment evident in our life? Or do we still eat spiritual baby food?
Dealing with the Word of truth takes care and diligence, so we must take the time to study it, live it, and proclaim it.
🙏 Lord Jesus, help us apply ourselves to the Scriptures and the Scriptures to ourselves.
