We all know that beginner Christians are often easily offended, quickly discouraged, and have a difficult time understanding some of the harder things in the Bible. Although many Christians in baptist churches all over the U.S. have yet to move past this stage, I hope that you have made it further in your Christian walk.
The Bible calls these younger Christians “babes” in the Bible. A familiar verse says that newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word. New Christians, like new babies need to have the easy stuff fed to them so that they can digest it and grow.
So what type of food does a grown man eat? That’s easy: Rib Eye Steak!
That means that advanced Christians can understand advanced prophesy and properly interpret all the toughest scriptures…right? Wrong!
What does the Bible say about the meat of the strong Christian?
John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Did you get that? The Bible says the meat of the strong Christian is DOING!
Doing means getting involved in your church, a soul-winning program, Sunday school, bus route, nursery, or anything else you can think of! Only then are you eating spiritual grown up food. Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking that knowing a lot of Bible makes you a strong Christian. If you want to eat spiritual steak you need to get busy for God.
