Spiritual maturity goes beyond how much Scripture a person knows; it is also reflected in how they treat and love others, according to Kenneth Copeland Ministry.
In a message encouraging Christians to examine their attitudes and relationships, the ministry stressed that spiritual growth should be evident not only in biblical knowledge but also in the way believers respond to other people.
The ministry noted that it can be easy to focus on the faults of others and pass judgment based on what is seen. However, it encouraged believers to take a different approach by examining their own hearts and allowing the Word of God to influence their attitudes and actions.
“Instead of criticizing others, examine your own heart and allow the Word of God to shape the way you see and treat people,” the ministry said.
According to the message, genuine spiritual growth involves an ongoing transformation from within, reflected in greater love, patience and grace toward others.
The ministry urged believers to remain committed to personal growth and to allow God’s Word to continually shape their character and relationships.
“Keep growing. Keep loving. Keep letting the Word change you from the inside out,” Kenneth Copeland Ministry stated.
