The real measure of spiritual maturity is not how much you know but how much you obey.
Of course, knowledge of God and His ways is essential for growth and depth, but real spiritual maturity will never exceed our level of obedience.
All too often people want more and more knowledge while actually doing less and less of it. They confuse awareness with growth and assume that they are maturing because they’ve heard great and inspiring teachings.
We must train ourselves to not be satisfied with merely inspiration or conviction. Those are only the starting blocks of the race. Inspiration, conviction, even education are all wasted without corresponding action.
Action is the expression of your conviction and your commitment. Couldn’t agree more. I guess this is also the challenge of education, learning information when acting and doing might be more powerful. Thanks for this reminder.
