Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬ NIV‬‬

We are a pathetic bunch.

With salvation in pocket, many of us stagnate without the same zealous pursuit of Christian growth and maturity that was demonstrated to us by God when He first sought our souls.

Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We are known by our fruit.
The ripening and ready-for-harvest kind.

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The saved soul is never satisfied.

Possession of a taste of heaven should be driving us toward greater knowledge, gifts, and heroic actions for the kingdom to which we now belong.

Doing just the bare minimum is an unacceptable lifestyle for a mature “child” of God who fights against growing up and into that which we’ve been called.

If this hurts a little, it probably should.
