In a culture that celebrates immaturity and avoids responsibility, believers must grow beyond spiritual infancy. Paul's prayer in Ephesians reveals three keys to maturity: understanding the hope of your calling, recognizing your identity as God's chosen possession, and grasping the greatness of His power within you. Spiritual growth requires intentional action in prayer, Scripture study, community engagement, and putting faith into practice. The church exists to equip believers for ministry, not entertain unbelievers. Mature Christians must discern truth from cultural deception and measure themselves against Christ's standard, not worldly definitions of success.
