These three terms are used in Scripture to describe Christians. There are other terms also used such as, babes, little children, young man, fathers, these terms are used as terms pertaining to the proper stages of a Christians growth. Wherefore the first three put forth, are categories of the kinds or type of Christian, a that particular Christian would be in. Which would be a manifestation of the condition of the heart of the believer for better or worse. Seeing how scripture does use these terms, they must exist in Gods economy, therefore they need to be looked at. Where God draws the line between the categories is not the purpose of this post. Where a believer finds themselves would be between that believer and God. How a believer moves from one category to another would be the purpose of this post. Their desire after the things of God would be the way forward. Just like growth in a persons life would be contingent on the persons desire after a thing. So would growth in Christ be contingent on the believers desire after God. Scripture says; “he that hungers and thirsts after righteousness shall be filled.” The requirement is, that a believer “hungers and thirsts after righteousness” before they will be filled. Scripture also says “by your faith be it unto you”and again “guard your heart with all diligence for out from it, come the issues of life” this is true whether for good or evil. Scripture calls and encourages all believers to good works and to grow in Christ. To have Christ formed in them in a larger and larger degree. So that we as His people can get a abundant welcome into Heaven. Love and prayers to all that love the Lord Jesus from a pure heart. Much love in Christ, Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I want to see some hands held high praising the LORD and be YE HOLY for HE IS HOLY . That is right , it is LORD praising time again . And be on guard though , if we praising him while we walk in darkness then we do not know him . Its high time to awake out of sleep peoples , for the day of the LORD draws ever closer . Now raise those hands and praise the Lord . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
