Christians are Stuck

Christians need to know the elementary principles which are covered in 1Timothy 5:21 &

then move to be mature Christians as it speaks about in Hebrew 5:12.   Christians are to do that

till the day Jesus returns as in Revelation or they die. Keeping what God command us to do,
Matthew 22:37-40.

The elementary principles are the foundation to being a Christian.  We are to learn them & then build from there & grow to maturity.   Most Christians know the elementary principles that 1 Timothy 5:21 covers. But that is where most Christians get stuck at that level.   We are called to grow to maturity & to help others.  How do we grow, if we don't know we are stuck?  Or do you know you are stuck & want  to grow to maturity & don't know how?

Christians are humans & can become comfortable & move towards convenient. Instead of facing growth & moving towards maturity & helping others.   Some of what holds you back is how you are brought up.  We learn from our parents & the family around us.   They teach us our values/morals/principles.  That is our foundation.  Our parents sculpt the way we think.   

Our parents want what is best for us.  We have to be careful not to move towards stuff that is convenient & comfortable.  That's where we can get stuck.  If you are stuck how do you get unstuck & move towards maturity?

We are not to move away from the  elementary principles, but grow from there.   In Hebrews 6:1-6 lays it out for us.
Hebrews 6:1-6 (NIV)

"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, and of faith in God,  instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.  And God permitting, we will do so.

 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace."   

 We as Christians need to dig deeper to grow deeper to be able to mature as Christians.  We sometimes loose track of the digging deeper to mature & get stuck at the elementary principles.  
Are you ready to move towards maturity?
