1 Corinthians 3:1-2 KJV, And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
From Paul's letter here to the assembly at Corinth, some thought they were older and more mature than they really were.
But Paul, being an adult in Christ could see that they were not ready to receive spiritual things.
As much as a child tries to convince a parent otherwise, an adult can see that a child is not ready for something, even though the child may insist they are.
That is why there are elders in the body of Christ. Through maturity they are able to determine a child's ability to do something.
When a child does not listen to wise counsel and rebels, they are showing their immaturity.
We may not like what our parents tell us, but if we hold steady, we will in due time obtain to maturity.
Those who run away from home will hopefully in a future time, get hungry and desire the comforts of home, like the prodigal son. Luke 15:11 - 32.
Repentance is the beginning of maturity.
Allow God to instruct and prepare you for maturity.
All must come under the hand of God to be instructed. The Bible of nature backs this up.
He that has ears, let him hear what the Spirit of God is saying to his called Temples.
