A Call for Spiritual Growth

It is funny and interesting to note that Paul spoke about spiritual maturity to the Jewish believers who were part of the first century church for so long. These believers were spiritually dull and they would not listen to the mature teachings of Paul. They were like babies who needed milk and could not eat solid food. In this passage, Paul goes on to share ways to kill being spiritually dull and indifferent.  

1.    Christians ought to teach others rather than just being taught. (Heb 5:12a)

2.    Christians need to move over from the basic teachings about Christ to deeper understandings. (Heb 6:1)

3.    Christians must self-evaluate. (Heb 6:4)

4.    Christians must strive to bear good fruit. (Heb 6:7,8)

5.    Christians must keep on loving others as long as life lasts in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. (Heb 6:11) 

6.    Christians must follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance (Heb 6:12) 

 

The last two points encourage us to avoid isolating us from our fellow Christians and grow with them instead. Do you feel spiritually dull?
