Eph 4:14
As a result, we are no longer to be children,…

We are to set aside all sins and grow in salvation…

1Pe 2:1-3
Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,
like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

The Word will feed us unto growth.
Those who are given as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers are to equip the saints for the work of the service.
When they do so, we will no longer be children.

2Pe 3:17-18
You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,
but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
