How do I become a mature Christian and how long does it take?
It will take at least as long as it will take for you to realize that this question is unanswerable. A mature Christian is one who exercises godly wisdom and does not become disillusioned by the things that people do, but, rather, stays focused on Christ.
A mature Christian is one who realizes the vast amounts that he does not yet know. Many people develop spiritual pride and think they know more than the average Christ-follower. These people are not mature! This old saying is very true in Christianity: The more you know, the more you know you don’t know!
A Christian who realizes the truth about his or her own knowledge, who seeks the counsel of the Holy Spirit before jumping into action, and who consults the Bible for truths about Christianity, is most likely a mature Christian.
So, becoming a mature Christian can be easy or it can be very difficult. How willing are you to surrender yourself, fully, to the molding process of the Holy Spirit? Maturing, refining, shaping, and molding are all painful processes. But, always, the end result is more beautiful than could ever be imagined.
