The evidence of spiritual maturity isn’t how many Bible verses you can recite. It’s how many Bible verses people can see in your everyday life. It’s wonderful if you can recount word for word Galatians 5:22…but if people don’t see the fruits of the Spirit in you…it’s all just memorized words. Jesus taught about this in Matthew 7:16-20 when He asserted that we are recognized by our fruit…in other words, by our conduct & our concrete ethical behavior. That’s because, true hearing of the Word must always lead us towards Godly action. (Colossians 1:10)
