Grow in spiritual stability

Immaturity lends to being more easily swayed by deceptions (Ephesians 4:14). Spiritual immaturity is dangerous because you are more easily influenced. Unlearned, weak, unstable, insecure. Falsehood is prevalent in every generation. Warnings (Matthew 7:15, 20; 2 Timothy 4:3; 1 John 2:18; 4:1). Do not be tossed or carried about! Error is cunning, crafty and deceitful.

The spiritual stable are steadfast and immovable in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). Proper stability comes from dealing truthfully with the truth (Ephesians 4:15). “speaking in truth” – being true or acting truly Holding it, knowing it, believing it, living it. Hear the truth and then act on it (Matthew 7:24; James 1:22, 25).

The spiritual stable are steadfast and immovable in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). Being, holding and speaking truth must be governed by love. 1 John 4:8; Colossians 3:14 Help others come to a knowledge of the truth that makes them free. Galatians 4:16; 6:1

The spiritual stable are steadfast and immovable in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). Arm yourself with God’s armor so you will be able to stand firm (Ephesians 6:11, 13). Truth, righteousness, gospel of peace, faith, salvation, word of God
