HAVE A SOFT EAR FOR THE WORD

Hebrews 5:11 – “Concerning Him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain since you have become dull of hearing”

Why do most Christians remain spiritual babies? The author of Hebrews tells us it is because they choose not to go on to maturity in Christ Jesus. The capacity for entering into deeper spiritual truths depends on the faithfulness with which the soul has been obedient in discerning good and evil in our daily lives. Our fellowship with God depends upon our obedience to His Word.

Our obedience thus determines how much spiritual maturity takes place in our lives.  If we do not act upon what we know to be true in God’s Word, we will not grow in the likeness of Jesus Christ.  Neither will we move from “milk” to “meat” in God’s word. The emphasis is on spiritual progress. Laziness prevents spiritual progress.  When you drift from God’s word, you will begin doubting it, and you will become “dull listeners.” 

If you have the attitude that everything spiritual is dull, you will begin a dangerous slide into spiritual immaturity. The Bible, Church, prayer, evangelism, and giving is dull, you are dead spiritually. The neglect of past opportunities to put into practice God’s teachings or moral truths results in spiritual dullness. We become lazy spiritually and unresponsive to the pleading of the Holy Spirit to pursue godliness.

It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
