How do we mature in Christ?
By: guest24 Date: April 1, 2021, 9:38 am

So this AM I was studying and came across several passages about
maturing in our faith or in Christ. What are the ways we mature
in Christ and where do you find that in scripture?

One sign of maturity in a Christian is the ability to speak the
truth in love. Interestingly, the ability to promote what is
right with the right attitude is directly contrasted ("rather")
to being immature and deceived. Immature believers can fall prey
to the false choice of speaking truth without love, or speaking
love without truth. The first problem promotes legalism; the
second problem promotes depravity. God's command is to grow in
maturity, a progression which includes both action and
information (Ephesians 4:11–12).
To speak the truth in love includes how Christians communicate
with believers and unbelievers alike. Believers are called to
live in harmony with one another as family. With unbelievers, we
are told to be ready at all times to "make a defense to anyone
who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it
with gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15). There is no reason
why a Christian has to be mean-spirited in order to be accurate
when sharing our faith with others. Instead, we should speak the
truth in love, letting God's Spirit work boldly in us and
through us to help others come to faith in Christ.

Ephesians 4:15 KJV: "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up
into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"
Truly understanding saving grace, as Paul explained in prior
chapters, is the Christian's first motivation for living a godly
life. Here, Paul encourages believers to live in way which
honors that gift. All saved Christians are part of a single,
unified family, part of the ''body'' of Christ. At the same
time, different believers are given different talents. Some are
called to positions of leadership and authority. All Christians
should turn away from the ''old self'' we were prior to being
saved. Paul's explanation of the ''new self'' includes some
basic, practical steps.
