Going on to Maturity

How easy it is to become lazy in our faith never moving from the basics being locked into immaturity. A young infant can thrive on milk but for an adult such a diet would be totally inadequate. Spiritually such malnourishment exposes our faith to real danger.

Failure to diligently go on to maturity through eating solid food not only weakens our present state but also threatens our future hope. We need to hear the warnings of Hebrews as it is one of the means by which God establishes His sure promise in our hearts.

Hebrews is strong meat. If we have no appetite for solid food we will miss out on grasping the significance of Christ as our great high priest and in doing so risk losing our grip on the utter necessity and finality of His ministry by which we draw near to God.
