WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BECOME A MATURE CHRISTIAN? - Conclusion

 Does this mean that a mature Christian never needs help from anyone? No. Mature ones also need to ask for help at times. But someone who is immature may expect others to tell him what to do or to make a decision that he himself should make. A mature Christian, on the other hand, will draw on the wisdom and the experience of others while recognizing that Jehovah expects him to "carry out his own load." - GALATIANS 6:5.

Just as adults differ in appearance, mature Christians differ in spiritual qualities, such as wisdom, courage, generosity, and empathy. Further, when to mature Christians face a similar situation, they might come to different conclusions that are both Scripturally acceptable. That is especially true in matters of conscience. Recognizing this, they avoid judging each other over such differences. Instead, they focus on remaining united. - ROMANS 14:10; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:10.
