The mature person is not like the immature one; he is the exact opposite. He is not like a child (he wants to serve others instead of being served). He is not deceived by every wind of doctrine because he has been trained in the Word of God. He can spot false teaching (religious and secular) from a mile away. He walks in the truth (the Word of God) and speaks the truth to others, motivated by love and not condemnation. He constantly grows toward maturity in Christ, all the days of his life.
