PROGRESS

You have been Christians a long time now, and you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things a beginner must learn about the Scriptures. You are like babies who drink only milk and cannot eat solid food. And a person who is living on milk isn’t very far along in the Christian life and doesn’t know much about doing what is right. Solid food is for those who are mature, who have trained themselves to recognize the difference between right and wrong and then do what is right.

Do you still struggle with the same sin over and over? Maybe it’s like the Apostle Paul. Do you remember him writing about doing the things he didn’t want to do and not doing the things he wanted to (Romans 7:15-17)?
 
You know its wrong but you do it anyway. The Hebrew author says the sign that we are maturing is that we will not only “recognize the difference between right and wrong”, we will “then do what is right”.
 
That’s progress. Are you making any?
