"Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God"- Hebrews 6:1 (NIV).
Sometimes parents and schools have to make the best decision for an elementary school child who hasn't shown the expected progress. Do they promote him to the next grade, so he can move up with his classmates, or keep him back a year until he is ready? Friends, let me tell you, there is no such thing as "social promotion" when you stand before God. If you continue to remain in a lifestyle of sin, repent, sin, repent, you are crucifying the Son of God over and over again, subjecting Him to public disgrace among those who know you as a Christian (Hebrews 6:6). We are meant to show progress, to produce the crop of fruit intended to bring God glory (v.7). Grow and become mature in Christ by studying His word, seeking Him in prayer, joining other believers, go...live a life that will show progress.
