1Cor 3:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : Paul explains that he had to give them “milk” instead of “meat” because they were not ready for deeper teachings. “Milk” refers to the elementary truths of the faith, while “meat” represents the more advanced and profound doctrines. He says they still cannot handle more solid spiritual truths because they have not grown enough. Paul emphasizes that it is natural for spiritual infants to grow and mature, and it is their responsibility to advance in their faith. Christians should not always remain at the beginner level but should strive to understand more of God’s truth and live it out (1 Corinthians 3:2 ).
