Romans 12:14-21

In our final study in Romans 12, the Apostle Paul lays out for us what it looks like for the believer to mature in the Lord. Just as we grieve when our children don’t grow and hit certain developmental milestones, so our Heavenly Father grieves when His children don’t mature into the blessings He seeks to lavish upon them. Now seeing a little toddler in the pool with arm floaties is cute – NOT so cute to see a 45-year-old guy doing the same. Twice in the New Testament explicitly, believers are instructed that we are to move from the milk of the word to the meat of the word. Now what does that mean? Well the MILK of the Word is what Christ has already done for us, and the MEAT of the Word is what Christ wants to do in our life NOW! And that’s exactly what we find here in Romans 12. GOT MEAT? Sink your teeth into the Word with us!
