Spiritual maturity comes from the example Jesus showed us toward the Father(God) John10:30 “I and the Father are one.” It is important for us to understand that Jesus being a man to make himself be equal to God is considered blasphemy worth being stoned to death for (John10:33)

When Jesus spoke about him and the Father being one, it is a proclamation of the working of God in and through Him, giving all the glory to God… It was God himself who said, ” This is my beloved son, in whom I am well please” declaring Jesus to be his son.

Mark 10:8 “And the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Genesis 2:24 “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” This here to me reveals the same oneness as the Father God and the Son Jesus, but instead of flesh, spirit. If men and women can have this kind of relationship there would be no divorces. See how God doesn’t need to show himself superior to Jesus, Jesus just submits himself in every way because he understands the truth, love and goodness of God. Jesus is by no means taking credit for his (existence); to God be all the glory, praise and worship. Jesus had the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of that and we should also. God didn’t created us to be robots, do as he commands, neither were we enslaved. It should be the greatest blessing for us to recognise that we have free will.

If, like Jesus, we acknowledge that we are and do all things through God and our relationship is not as an individual, but one, one in heart, mind and spirit, connected. This connectivity leaves no way for control of power, jealousy, hatred or ones ego getting in the way. God is and will always be God and He, Me and We knows it.

Spiritual maturity is also knowing that the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God cannot be contained or only founded in a building and a book, it is limitless. It is only us as human beings can be, we are merely limited. To think before there were churches or bibles God existed and his word more prevalent in the hearts and minds of men. The word(bible) and the building(church) has become divided, a means of separation between believers in a monotheistic God. “How could you not understand what I am saying?” When there’s so many different denomination of religions, pulling at God and Jesus in many different directions like there’s is more than one God and Jesus. Believing their way is the only and right way; then they have the nerve to say who’s going to hell, like if somehow they’re exempt, and know for sure they are going to heaven, judging and condemning their fellow Christian believers. We cannot forget those who believe in God and yet deny his son came and are still today waiting on him to come.
