Baby food

The Philippine Star

Solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. — Hebrews 5:14        

Have you ever tasted baby food? I have. It’s terribly bland. But babies have no other choice without teeth. They certainly can’t eat a nice, juicy steak!

Sadly, some Christians are content with spiritual baby food. They are happy to go over and over the simple truths of the Scriptures and don’t move beyond the basics of the gospel (Heb. 6:1-2). By not sinking their teeth into deeper truths and more difficult Bible passages, they lack biblical understanding and convictions to make right choices (5:13). They may have been Christians for many years, but their spiritual abilities remain underdeveloped. They remain babies.

As children grow physically, they learn to eat solid food that gives them strength and vitality. In the same way, every believer needs to take on the responsibility to feed himself on solid spiritual food. To fail to do this is to remain spiritually weak and undernourished.

You can roughly tell the physical age of people by how they look. Their spiritual age is revealed by their ability to distinguish good from evil and by their personal character that’s shown day by day.

Is this spiritual discernment evident in your life? Or are you still on spiritual baby food? — C. P. Hia                                

 

To handle the Word of truth

Takes diligence and care,

So make the time to study it

And then that truth declare. — Hess

 

READ: Hebrews 5:12–6:2

 

Apply yourself to the Scriptures and the Scriptures to yourself.
