Good

Cool

A matured Christian's characteristics.


NOT CONFUSED BY HEARSAY

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;


ABLE TO TEACH SCRIPTURES.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.




MANIFESTING GOOD WORKS/ THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT.

2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons [matured children] of God.

THEY AREN'T CONFORMED TO THE WORLD.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Bla bla bla, soon you guys would bring out 50 complex qualities of heaven bound Christians.
Principles and ordinances of men.
Ironically I possess most , if not all of these qualities but I don't consider myself a mature Christian, not even by half.
The Lord knows those who are His

good points

but a mature Christian is not above temptation

, a mature Christain can still harbor pride and may not know ,

a mature christian constantly needs the grace of God to keep on let's he fall

They also sin

Also fall into temptation

Nice points Op

God help me

+ they are mature when quoting others on nairaland.

So on point....what makes a mature believer is not the fascinating gifts of the spirit but the FRUITS of the spirit.

A matured Christian should be diverse in knowledge, including politics, sex or other things some consider as "no go area"

O boy they say u bi thief

Nice: this list actually sums it all up

There are some that are contradictory in real life.How do you speak the truth in the face of persecution and allegation and not been seen to be defending yourself?

Who 30 characters epp

.

Exactly

If by matured Christians you must mean perfect Christians... and according to what the Christians living in Nigeria always tell me.. No one is perfect..

So I don't think this your post might serve its purpose..

Surw bro, the Lord knows those who are his indeed. Buh, from ur comment you don't seem to strike me as anChristian, because u would ve known that it is not by might or by strength but BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD that we are who we are, and not by selfrighteousness that a man's Character is remoulded, but as we daily fellowship both with the children of God and with God's Words & God-based Christian literatures, our minds gradually conforms to & with God's standard lifestyle.

If u r aChristian bro, i urge you to study the Bible more, & cease to follow the lifestyle or pessimism & sarcasm & bad-mouthing of others, especially the write ups on Christ & Christian doctrines.
Are u for or against Christ?

my neighbor said whenever he is with his girl friend and if some should come looking for him that I should tell the person that he is not around.
meanwhile I am a good Christian I don't want to lie and this my friend is always good to me and also I don't want to offend him. what should I do in this case if somebody should come looking for him.

So on point.
