Heb 5:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : He explains that, just like in life, there are “babes” and “adults” in the church. The “babes” need spiritual milk—the simplest truths of the faith—while the mature can handle deeper teachings, called “strong meat.” There must be line upon line, precept upon precept (Isaiah 28:10 ). It is good to begin as a spiritual child, but we should not stay that way. We must let God’s word help us grow, so that our spiritual senses become strong and we can tell the difference between good and evil. Mature believers have learned through practice to understand and live by the deeper truths of God’s word (Hebrews 5:14 ).

v. 14: He explains that, just like in life, there are “babes” and “adults” in the church. The “babes” need spiritual milk—the simplest truths of the faith—while the mature can handle deeper teachings, called “strong meat.” There must be line upon line, precept upon precept (Isaiah 28:10 ^a). It is good to begin as a spiritual child, but we should not stay that way. We must let God’s word help us grow, so that our spiritual senses become strong and we can tell the difference between good and evil. Mature believers have learned through practice to understand and live by the deeper truths of God’s word (Hebrews 5:14 ^b).
