Perfecting the Saints

The Saints are born into the Family of God as spiritual babies, and they grow into maturity. The Lord gave the Church ministers with different ministries for the perfecting or maturing of the Saints. And Apostle Peter wrote: "Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babies, desire the pure milk of the Word that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious" (1 Pet. 2:1-3). To grow, you have to remove insincerity, hypocrisy, deceit, and feed on the pure Word of God, starting from the milk of the Word to stronger substance of it.
