Spiritual Maturity

Dustin Benge

In "On Grace," Christopher Love explores the reality that not all believers are at the same stage of spiritual maturity. Some are strong in faith, while others are weak and struggling. Scripture describes Christians as trees of righteousness, burning flames of zeal, or tender bruised reeds—each with varying degrees of grace. Love reminds us that just as there are stages in natural growth, there are stages in spiritual growth. Every believer, whether new in faith or mature in wisdom, plays a vital role in the beauty of Christ’s church.
