Ultimately a mature Christian looks like Jesus. We are all to be conformed into the image of Christ. But here are 12 characteristics that show Christian maturity, understanding that Christian maturity is a journey, not a destination.
1. There is an intangible yet obvious inner strength, peace and assuredness that can be nourished only by deep sincere faith, and manifests itself in gentleness and a sense of personal contentment in life. (Philippians 4:13, Colossians 1:11)
2. There is a long-standing track record of endurance, stability and consistency in all conditions of life—in good times and in times of suffering.
3. Not prone to unhealthy isolation, does not fall out of fellowship or withdraw from people for extended periods of time. Can maintain long-standing friendships.
