Hello my friend,
So get your answers and lets see what we have. I am sharing what I wrote. Now remember not every believer is counted as a mature Christian, but all believers are saved. Someone can be a believer but don't practices spiritual disciplines therefore they are not developing their spiritual life. The more you live a life to please God the more you grow.
So in class after we answered these questions we got a final question from the professor: If the lifespan education of the Christian life begins at birth and it ends at death, to whom is the lifespan important? The church? or to the family?
The answer is for both. The church must know the changes that manifest in the lifespan of a Christian in order to instruct them. But the church must know where they are leading their people. Ask yourself what is the goal of your church for your life?
Ephesians 2:4-6 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead [f]in our transgressions, made us alive together [g]with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, God willing, I will unpack the questions tomorrow . Wat defines a mature Christian? Holy character Sound prayer life Honest character Sound knowledge of the Baptist doctrine Knows how to witness to others Is active in ministry Has a vast majority of mature Christian friends Has at least 2 mentors Has accountability partners Reads the Bible on daily bases and delight in the word Hopes, faith and Joy How many mature Christians do you know at your church, leadership included? 2 How many mature Christian friends do you have in whom you would trust your life? 8 Are you a mature Christian? To be honest, at first I said Yes(because the choice was only yes or no) but then I asked the professor if I could change it to "Growing", since saying no is not correct but saying yes shows pride. How is a person described in the Bible as a mature Christian? As a person spiritual person, someone who is Christlike. The list I mentioned before is correct too but there are other things like wisdom, submission, righteous, humble and much more.
Be blessed,
