What does the Bible say about growing up? 5

Children/Adults (1 Cor 14:20 NKJV) Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. 6

Grow up (1 Cor 16:13-14 NKJV) Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. {14} Let all that you do be done with love. 8

He needs Adults (Eph 4:11-14 NKJV) {12} for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, (Eph 4:12-13 NASB) for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13

He needs Adults (Eph 4:11-14 NKJV) {12} for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, {13} till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14

The Strength of Manhood (Eph 4:11-14 NKJV) {14} that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, (2 Cor 4:2 NKJV) But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 15

We also need a few good men to do the work God has in mind for us. 16

We need good men To be good leaders in the church. For elders, deacons, Bible school teachers, preachers, song leaders, youth directors. To be good husbands and fathers who will be leaders in their own homes. To be good citizens in our cities, states, and nation. We need men to stand for what is right. 17

Good Qualities of Adults Ready to share and provide Easy to communicate and reason with. Able to teach and train others in becoming mature and useful. A provider of the needs of other people. very responsible person. 19

Growing up! (1 Cor 13:11 NKJV) When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 20

Are you in Christ? (2 Cor 5:17 KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 21
