Hebrews 5:13-14 But solid food is for the full-grown, who because of practice have their faculties exercised

Hebrews 5:13-14 For everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant; But solid food is for the full-grown, who because of practice have their faculties exercised for discriminating between both good and evil. (Recovery Version Bible)

Paul’s burden in the book of Hebrews was to bring the believers out of the “kindergarten” stage and to bring them on to maturity, to the word of righteousness concerning Christ’s heavenly ministry, concerning the way of His economy, which is the solid food for them to reach maturity. In the New Testament age God’s main work is to bring forth the new creation, and the new creation work is based upon regeneration in our spirit by God’s divine life, not by any miracle. From the time of regeneration, God continues to renew us, to sanctify us dispositionally, to transform us from one degree of glory to another degree of glory, and eventually to conform us to the image of the firstborn Son of God unto glorification. This is the main work of God in the New Testament age to create His new creation. (Elders’ Training, Book 5: Fellowship concerning the Lord’s Up-to-date Move, ch. 8)
