This book is about how we reach maturity. What we must go through to get there. What is maturity for a Christian? This writing is revealing many issues concerning our walk with the Lord as we grow into His image through trials and tribulations mostly brought on ourselves by our own ignorance of our Father's word. Hosea 4:6 tells us why we are in many of the straights we get ourselves into: "My people are DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children." Tough words, but we His called out ones must repent and learn His word so Psalm 119:105 is alive to us: "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path." Without knowledge of His word or covenant, we are being destroyed by the enemy through our own laziness and ignorance of the blood shed by Yeshua Messiah who was sent to the cross for our deliverance from Satan's yoke. God the Father through His Son has completed all the work for us, all we, His people must do is believe it, and walk in this completed work. Sin in our life produces sickness, disease and death if we do not repent. It is time for the truly repentant church (us) to grow up and learn of His higher ways and walk in agreement with the Most High as Enoch did in the Old Covenant. Revelation 19:7 tells us: "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come and His wife has made herself ready." He then will return, NOT UNTIL!
An introduction to Paul's epistle to the Ephesians is followed by a verse-by-verse commentary on the text.

In this book, we will learn the six basic doctrines of Christ. What we must learn to get our flesh under our feet. This writing reveals many issues concerning our walk with the LORD as we grow into His image through trials and tribulations, mostly brought on ourselves by our own ignorance. Hosea 4:6 states: "MY PEOPLE are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, "I" will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your GOD, "I" will also forget your children." Amos 3:3 states: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" We ARE UNDER GRACE, to learn of His ways as Exodus 33:13 tells us: "Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME now Your way, that I may know You, that I may find grace in Your sight: and consider that this nation is Your people." Tough words, but we, His called out ones, must repent and learn His word so Psalm 119:105 is alive to us: "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path." It is time for the truly repentant church (us) to grow up and learn of His higher ways and walk in agreement with the Most High, as Enoch did in the Old Covenant. Revelation 19:7 tells us: "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come and His wife has made herself ready." He then will return, NOT UNTIL! UNTIL WHEN, when we put His word in our hearts and come into agreement with the Most High, having put the SIN NATURE UNDER OUR FEET and walk in HIS COMPLETED VICTORY as a glorious church.
An introduction to Paul's epistle to the Philippians is followed by a verse-by-verse commentary on the text.
Isaiah 28:9-10 informs us as to whom the real teacher is, "Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little..." This is how we will grow in spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding of our KINGS completed work of the cross we are to walk by. This understanding the Holy Spirit will make alive to our level of understanding to do His will if we are diligently seeking His face for spiritual truth only the Holy Spirit can reveal truth from the written seed word He makes alive to us. This written word is the seed of GOD the Father's truths, but the Spirit must make it alive to our level of understanding or it is dead letter understanding, carnality, we try to keep and cannot. His spiritual truths can only come to us at our level of understanding as the Spirit works in us to complete our growth He started in us as we learn to be patient and obedient sons to His voice. Galatians 3:2-3, "This only would I learn of you, received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?" Philippians 1:6, "Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Chris..." Galatians 6:9, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
It seems that much of American Christianity has lost sight of the goal of growing to maturity in Christ. This loss of vision has had serious consequences for the quality of our witness and ministry. In Aiming at Maturity, Steven W. Rankin seeks to bring back into focus key qualities of spiritual maturity and summarizes important biblical passages to show the scriptural foundations that call for spiritual maturity. Rankin also addresses certain tendencies in popular Christian culture to reduce doctrinal truths to sound bites with the laudable but counterproductive goal to make doctrine memorable, therefore applicable. Thinking more expansively about certain key doctrines related to the work of Christ and the impact of grace contributes to growth toward maturity in a way that popular descriptions of these doctrines do not. Finally, Rankin also challenges readers to consider the important role of emotions in developing Christlike dispositions, which contribute toward producing the fruit of a mature Christian life. By looking at relevant modern research, Aiming at Maturity shows the inherent connection between thoughts and feelings that draw us closer to the actual biblical description of the heart.
