‘How Is The Diet Going?’
Hebrews 5:12-14.
a) Hebrews 5:12. The Hebrew Christians:-
1- Had been Believers for a long time.
2- They should be able to teach or disciple other people – especially the new Believers.
3- But they needed to be taught again themselves the basic things of Scripture.
4- They were like babies who only drink milk and drink no strong food.
b) Hebrews 5:13. A person who is drinking only milk has not grown very much as a Believer.
c) Hebrews 5:13. A person who is drinking only milk does not know much about doing what is right.
d) Hebrews 5:14. Strong food :–
1- Is the food for mature Believers.
2- Is for people who have trained themselves to know the difference between right and wrong.
3- Then do what is right.
(This QT causes me to ask myself the question: How Is The Diet Going?)

‘It Is Time To Move On And Be Mature.’
Hebrews 6:1-3.
a) Hebrews 6:1. We need to stop going over the basics of Christianity again and again, we need to go on and become mature in our understanding.
b) Hebrews 6:1-2. Doctrines that are very basic and which we should know right now as True Believers:-
1- Repentance from evil deeds.
2- Faith in God.
3- Baptisms.
4- Laying on of hands.
5- Resurrection of the dead.
6- Eternal Judgment.
c) Hebrews 6:3. God willing, we should move forward to further understanding.
(This Second one reminds me and encourages me that It Is Time To Move On And Be Mature)

Chris.
Faith in God is something that also stimulates the life of Faith. Faith without works is dead James tells us. If we say that we have Faith but we are not living the life of Faith then we are deceiving ourselves.
