This lesson explains from 1 Corinthians 3 how the Apostle Paul rebuked the church at Corinth for remaining “babes in Christ,” who could still only handle the “milk” of elementary truths rather than the “meat” of deeper doctrine. Here, he contrasts the natural (unsaved) person, the carnal believer, and the spiritual believer, reminding them that only God gives the increase in growth, while human ministers are merely servants who plant and water. The message calls for believers today to keep maturing in Christlikeness through regular intake of Scripture, so that they may glorify God alone, avoid carnal divisions, and fulfill the high calling of pressing toward the prize in Him.
