Childish Things: Growing Beyond Immature Spiritual Gifts to True Christian Maturity
Childish Things: Growing Beyond Immature Spiritual Gifts to True Christian Maturity
Summary:
While many will reject this idea, childishness is associated with spiritual gifts. This childishness was demonstrated at the Corinthian church, and Paul had to write letters to correct this behavior. Oddly, so many gift-based denominations and churches pattern themselves after the example of a carnal church in the Bible. To their credit, they see and seem to understand the power in the spiritual realm that many churches ignore, but they misapply it immaturely. Let’s see if we can set the record straight about spiritual gifts.
The Unlock the Bible Now ministry provides weekly Sunday Bible Studies to help you understand God's word and unlock the secrets found in the Bible.
Notes:
Childish: νήπιος (nay’-pee-os) - an infant, little child
a minor, not of age
metaph. childish, untaught, unskilled
Scriptures:
All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible.
1 Corinthians 13:11, 1 Corinthians 3:1-2, 1 Corinthians 12:1, 1 Corinthians 12:1-7, 1 Corinthians 12:23-25, 1 Corinthians 14:22, 1 Corinthians 1:22-24, 1 Corinthians 14:21, Acts 2:4-8, 1 Corinthians 12:27-28, 1 Corinthians 12:29-31, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 Corinthians 13:8-10, 1 Corinthians 13:11-12, Ephesians 4:11-15, Acts 2:16-21, 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Takeaway:
Many charlatans and false prophets work in the church today, deceiving and misleading the saints. They would ensnare you in a trap of desiring spiritual gifts, namely tongues, to have power over you and keep you in their control. There is a more excellent way, but it requires charity to desire God’s Word more than the pride of having gifts. As the Hebrew author says, Let us go on unto perfection and become grown adults in Christ. There is work to do that requires spiritual maturity and self-sacrificing love.
