Christians...If you asked yourself how old you are in your Christian life, how old would you be?

Question

Not as in how long have you been a Christian, but how mature you think you are?
1 month, 5 yrs old, 20 yrs, what? I ask myself and I have been a Christian for about 5 months, and I think I am about 3 months old. There was a man who said he has been a Christian for 20 yrs but he really asked himself how old he was in his progression and he said maybe 1 month. He never got past the being saved stage and didn't do his part to grow for 20 yrs and really felt like a newborn in Christ. I think it is important to keep on growing in the Lord instead of staying a newborn or you miss out on all he has to offer you.

Answer 1

I've been walking with the Lord for 20 years, but as far as how mature I am spiritually, I'll just say I hope I'm right where the Lord wants me to be and that I keep on growing. :-) My testimony is at the first link below.

Answer 2

I think the man of 20 years had a very valid point - and I agree if we stay newborns we have so much to miss out on - for me personally, I celebrated my 16th born anew birthday this year, but I am about 4 to 6 years old - somewhere between always asking questions and learning how to put what Christ is into words and pictures, must like a first grader. I don't think we can ever be just one "age" - because in the spirit there is so much we will learn in one area and then so much we will grown in another area and yet in some areas I am still quite a newborn. That is the joy of being a Christian - ever growing and learning and maturing and letting Christ utilize my experiences to help others at whatever state I am in or to learn from others at whatever need I am in.

Answer 3

I'm not sure how old I would say I am. Definatly past the being saved stage though. As a christian we are called to grow in holiness. After each year, you should be able to look back and say " I grew in holiness." you might not have grown alot, but so long as your growing, its a good thing. If we are not growing, then we are not producing fruit, and if we are not producing fruit then, we will be cut down and thrown in the fire.

Answer 4

suitable? No physique is appropriate, what made you arise with that concept. you're putting way too plenty stress on your self and searching forward to way too plenty. all of us make undesirable options at one time or yet another, we will not get it precise every time, and that's for all of us, people who've faith or no longer. living life is a tribulation and mistake experience, trouble-free experience is needed alot of the time, somewhat guessing at others, thinking first earlier doing is incredibly much continuously reliable. yet once you hold repeating the comparable concern lower back and lower back, decide why, in case you seek interior your self and be trustworthy you will know why. the respond is interior you. it is as much as you to take accountability on your strikes and not rely on something to make the variations. alongside with religious ideals. in case you decide on some form of help or help then in step with risk see a school counsellor. on occasion in trouble-free terms somewhat direction and a few outdoors perception and help is all we would desire to get our techniques and physique in kit. merely take an trustworthy look at your self, decide the form you somewhat could choose to stay, set your self objectives and take that direction. in case you slip up, merely come back on the pony and supply it a shot lower back. do no longer beat your self up in case you fail hi you does no longer be human in case you probably did no longer. And hurting your self or taking your life is not any answer. you recognize that. it rather is not any longer well worth it. merely know which you're enjoyed by using persons on your life, you would be somewhat ignored, know which you're useful and are well worth having a happy fulfilled life. merely have some quiet time. think of roughly issues, love your self, there is not any longer something incorrect with that. it rather is not any longer egocentric or ineffective. it is sensible and the suitable concern you're able to do for your self. manage your self with love and admire, see your self in a favorable gentle.
