Hebrews 5:11-14
Intro: We worship the God who gave us the Bible. God is delighted to watch us mature spiritually, see 1 Corinthians 14:20, Ephesians 4:15, 1 Peter 2:2 and 2 Peter 3:18. The book of Hebrews encourages us (children of God, John 1:12) to grow up.
I. The problem of spiritual infancy: A. They are dull in their hearing, Hebrews 5:11. Don’t yawn in God’s Face—is the warning in Hebrews 6:1-20. B. They are delinquent in their teaching, Hebrews 5:12 and Matthew 28:18-20. C. They are deficient in their diet, Hebrews 5:12-13.
II. The pathway of spiritual maturity: Hebrews 5:14. A. They ingest solid food. B. They implement God’s Truth. C. They identify good from evil, 1 Corinthians 2:14.
Personal Application Ask yourself:
· Do I have ears to hear God’s Truth? Do I eat solid food?
· Do I know God better today than I did a year ago? See James 1:22-23.
· Are you able to integrate God’s Word in your daily life?
· Have you ever been born—spiritual birth?
