2 | Measure of maturity | Eph 4:13 | Mommapbs | 52184 | ||
Greetings Tefo! Welcome to the Forum. Type in spiritual maturity in the "search' field and you can follow some excellent posts on this subject. The first verse that comes to my mind is Phil 1:6, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." How wonderful to know that it is GOD who does the work of bringing us to completion in Jesus Christ. I can not imagine trying to attain this on my own! I suspect that those who would CLAIM to be spiritually mature, are in need of some more training! (Does that assertion sound Christ-like to you? See Phil 2:1-12!) I believe that this verse is a description of the ultimate spiritual maturity for the believer: "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known." 1 Cor 13:12 Blessings, Mommapbs PS: What prompted your question? |

It was prompted by the frustration of being harassed by emotions when people know that you are a Christian and want to take advantage of you and wanting to put you down. Secondly I once heard someone who has 20 years since salvation saying that God is still maturing her. | ||||||
