Hebrews 5:11-14
11 There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. 12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word.[c] You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.
Notice the sign of maturity: the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. That sums it up. Our kids hear that from us daily. “Don’t pour your cup on the floor!”, “don’t hit your brother”, “clean this mess up!”. They don’t yet recognize the difference between doing what is right and doing what is wrong.
