Practice What Is Preached

Hebrews 5:13-14
13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

One of the most important truths in the life of a believer is to fully understand the gift of righteousness, which means you have been made right with God, and therefore have rights as a child of God. Anyone who teaches that a believer is not righteous is not teaching you the Truth of God’s Word. A vital key to understanding this truth is found in the above verses of scripture. If you live on the milk of the Word only, you will lack understanding of this powerful truth.

The milk of the Word is needed in our life, and in fact we are told as a newborn baby would desire milk, so we are to desire the pure milk of God’s Word (1 Peter 2:2). The milk of the Word is sitting under the teaching of the Word of God. But for us to take the milk and see it become solid food, we must become a doer of what it says we now have and can do as a new creation in Christ.

Notice in verse 14 above solid food belongs to those who through practice of God’s Word mature as a believer, dominated by their spirit man. When this happens you will walk in a clear understanding of what is good and what is evil, knowing the deceptive lies of satan. So, make sure you have a pastor teaching you the pure milk of God’s Word, revealing who you now are in Christ, and act upon that Word, putting those truths into practice in your life. As you do, you will clearly see the lies of the enemy and can walk in the freedom you have already been given.
