BABY
CHRISTIAN
A baby is a very young child, he
behaves like a young child and is easily upset. A baby Christian is one that
don’t grow spiritually; he does not follow the lord, he does his own desires
and neglect the things of GOD. Are you one? A baby Christian will always
exhibit the characteristics of a new born baby, a new born baby is being fed
with milk and so is a baby Christian. A new born baby has little understanding,
likewise a baby Christian; he has low understanding of the things of GOD.A new
born baby cannot take solid food, because he can’t digest ; likewise a baby
Christian he can’t take solid things i.e the word of GOD, he can’t read and
digest. A new born baby is not so strong; likewise a baby Christian he is very
weak in the things of GOD, he is so feeble. Those are the characteristics of a
baby Christian, I repeat are you one?
Also, a baby Christian is ever learning but
never able to come to the knowledge of truth; he is always confused; he doubts;
doesn’t grow spiritually. He is still been forced to come to church and serve
GOD. He see things in his own way, and not the way of GOD, he acts as though he
belongs to himself and not GOD. He claims to be a Christian, but can’t watch,
fast and pray. Those are the traits of a baby Christian.
However, in 1 Corithians 3 vs 1-5 Paul
condemned the division and quarreling in the church; they were jealous of one
another arguing and quarreling who was greater between Apollos and he Paul; he
told them this shows how little they have grown in the lord. He said they were
acting as though they don’t belong to GOD. He said they are not healthy
Christians, but baby Christians. Healthy Christians are filled with the spirit
and understands the things of the spirit; but a baby Christian is not filled
with the spirit and understands not the things of the spirit. A healthy
Christian grows in the lord and wax stronger and stronger; while a baby
Christian does not grow in the lord, he
wax weaker and weaker.
Finally, Paul said stop fooling
yourselves; if you count yourself average in intelligence, as judged by this
world’s standard, you had better put this all aside and be a fool rather than
let it hold you back from wisdom from above. A healthy Christian seeks for
wisdom that comes above, while a baby Christian seeks for worldly wisdom. Are
you a baby Christian or a healthy one?
