Spiritual Maturity Put away carnal things 1 Corinthians 3:1-3

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

Spiritual Maturity Put away carnal things 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 Cultivate an understanding of truth Ephesians 5:17; John 8:31-32

Ephesians 5:17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Spiritual Maturity Put away carnal things 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 Cultivate an understanding of truth Ephesians 5:17; John 8:31-32 Strive to be like Christ Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 John 2:5-6

Ephesians 4:13,15 (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; (15), But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ.

1 John 2:5-6 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Hebrews 5:11,13 (11), “Of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. (13), For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

Hebrews 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

1 John 2:14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

Psalm 119:10-12 With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. 12 Blessed are You, O L ORD ! Teach me Your statutes.

Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have appre- hended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
