A true ‘man or woman of God’ must prepare to suffer. They will remain ‘an infant in Christ’ if they consistently choose the easy path, harbor secret sin, or nurse on the milk of self-centeredness. No matter how established a person may appear, he or she is only as ‘grown up’ as the depth of their relationship with Jesus who said, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me,” (Luke 9.23).
“But I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ,” (1st Corinthians 3.1).
