Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity Hebrews 6:1
Charles Spurgeon puts it this way:
"In the previous chapter Paul was writing to some who ought to have been teachers, but who still needed to be taught the first principles of the Gospel. They were such babes in Grace that they needed the milk of the Word — the very simplest elements of Gospel Truth — and not the strong meat of solid doctrine. The Apostle, however, desires that the Hebrew Believers should understand the more sublime doctrines of the Gospel and so be like men of full age who can eat strong meat. In this chapter he exhorts them to seek to attain to this standard.
Verse 1. Therefore leaving the principles — The rudiments, the elementary Truths of God — Of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection. — Let us go from the school to the university. Let us have done with our first spelling books and advance into the higher classics of the Kingdom."
Join me in reading Hebrews 6 and be encouraged!
