Newborn Christians

In His Presence: Proverbs 19:20

“I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ”(1 Corinthians 3:1).

There are people who are Christians but are not mature. They are neither carnal Christians nor unbelievers. These are people who are brand-new to faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. They have not been saved long enough to become spiritual. A baby Christian cannot be mature. They can be Spirit-controlled, but they cannot be mature because maturity requires time.

When Paul addresses Christians about their infancy, he is referring to weak, brand-new Christians. We cannot condemn a person because he or she is a baby. Neither does the apostle Paul condemn new Christians because they are immature. New Christians should not get frustrated because they are not mature. They should allow the Holy Spirit control over what they have, and He will make it increase with time. When a baby Christian desires to become mature, we should rejoice that they have listened to the Holy Spirit’s voice and have developed a desire for a deeper and more satisfying relationship with God. 

“I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it”(v. 2). New Christians grow by feeding on the basics of Christianity. They learn who God is and how much He loves us. They learn who Jesus Christ is, and why it was necessary for Him to become the Lamb of God.

One Minute Please

A baby Christian learns to love God with all his heart, mind, and soul.
