“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect…” (Philippians 3:12)
I once heard evangelist, Billy Graham say that he did not know any mature Christians, and he included himself. I agree with that statement and add myself in the, “not yet mature” group. Billy Graham also added, “There are some Christians who are more nearly mature than others.”
If we have reached spiritual maturity there is no more room for growth. The Bible clearly commands that we are to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (II Peter 3:18) Paul saw himself as not yet mature but continued to work on becoming mature.
