Hebrews 5:11-6:3

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites,[b] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.


This passage of scripture talks about being a spiritual baby or being spiritually mature. When you dig into the passage, you will find a few things that show us whether or not we're still a spiritual baby. 1. We're slow to learn or lazy when it comes to learning. 2. We can't feed ourselves spiritually, we rely on others to teach us. 3. We can't handle anything other than the basic spiritual lessons. 4. We don't know right from wrong, or are not strong enough to do what is right.

But guess what, there is hope! :) Here are 5 things to help you grow. 1. Read the Bible! (duh) 2. Use what you learn in the Bible. 3. Pray constantly. 4. Find a mentor. 5. Find a fellow disciple to share with and support each other.
