Don Baker discusses important characteristics of our journey in Christ from new believer to mature bondservant, drawing from the Apostle John's statement found in 1 John 2:12-14.John highlights how each stage of spiritual growth is characterized by certain aspects of our faith and understanding:
- Children are recognized for knowing the Father and having their sins forgiven.
- Young Men have become strong in faith -- the Word of God abides in them and they have overcome the evil one.
- Fathers are blessed with deep knowledge of God, having known Him from the beginning.
