NO LONGER BE INFANTS / EPHESIANS 4:14

(KJV) Ephesians 4:14

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

In Ephesians 4:13-15, Paul describes spiritually “mature” persons who have the fullness of Christ.

1. Spiritually immature people are unstable in commitment, easily deceived by the false teaching and influence of dynamic personalities and presentations. Such people will remain like infants spiritually if their understanding of and commitment to Biblical truth remains so shallow (Ephesians 4:14-15) or if they fail to learn God’s Word, apply the Word and grow in their devotion and service to God (Hebrews 5:14; 6:1; James 1:4).
2. Spiritually mature Christians respond strongly with eager hearts to God’s Word and godly ministry (Ephesians 4:11). They take an active role in building up the church and promoting unity in love and purpose (Ephesians 4:16) through their works of service (Ephesians 4:12). They do not sit back and expect others to serve them, but they purposefully seek out ways to serve and build up others. Spiritually mature individuals also do their part to spread and communicate Christ’s message, in and out of church, by “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15). They understand that the true message of Christ as presented in the New Testament is to be held in love, presented in love and defended in a spirit of love. The love is first directed to “Christ” (Ephesians 4:15), and then to the church (Ephesians 4:16) and to one another (Ephesians 4:32; 1 Corinthians 16:14).
