"Maturity!"

 

"Knowing Eternal TRUTH!"

 

1 Corinthians 13:11-12 Amplified Bible

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God].

 

It is a magnificent thing to know more about God and HIS Love for us by HIS Spirit, who reveals the many TRUTHs that were previously clouded by our immaturity.

As the Apostle Paul reflects on his personal understanding of God prior to encountering the Living Savior, childish and immature is probably where many believers are in their relationship with Christ today because we are failing to recognize their need for spiritual growth.

Are we not responsible also for mentoring and training believers, who need encouragement to grow in their faith and understanding of God and HIS Ways, just as Paul did?

Now, more than ever may be the time for many of us to become Guardians, Believers in Christ who will take responsibility for training and teaching others, so they may grow in their Faith, Knowledge and Power of God's TRUTH!

 

O'Lord, give me a double portion,
of YOUR Spirit for understanding!
YOU are my source of knowledge and strength,
to bear YOUR message of Eternal HOPE!!
Teach me, O'Lord, more of what I am in YOU,
for I desire to be a Guardian of YOUR TRUTH!!!

 

Forever and Amen!!!
