We are to stop thinking like children and with regard to evil be infants

We are to stop thinking like children and with regard to evil be infants

1 Cor 14:20

²⁰ Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

Eph 4:14

¹⁴ Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 

¹⁵ Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 

Heb 5:12, 13

 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.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)  We are to stop thinking like children and with regard to evil be infants

2)  We are not to be infants tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming

3)  We are to speak the truth in love; we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

4)  We are to be mature like those who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
