Don’t Judge The Baby

“He who has begun a good work in you
will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”
Philippians 1:6

When a person is born again he is born as an infant, and understanding that should oftentimes stop the mouths of accusers who are offended at something a fellow believer says or does. Too often we hear a comment followed by the phrase, “and he’s supposed to be a Christian!” Those who scrutinize do not understand that believers aren’t perfected suddenly as soon as they accept Christ. Furthermore, some believers don’t feed in the Word of God daily, consequently they don’t grow.

Growth in Christ is, just as in natural growth, a slow and often difficult process. The newly born-again will stumble and fall many times before he is able to stand and walk as a mature believer. Let us then, never be critical and condescending with the immature, but be gentle and helpful and encouraging, keeping in mind that we also are growing and sometimes stumbling.

Someday “this corruptible will put on incorruption” but right now believers are in training. Let accusers give the believer space to grow.
