Newborn
At this stage, the Christian cannot handle strong meat.
Read the Bible from Genesis to Revela­tion. Read every word. 1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Child
You believe that your sins are forgiven. When Satan brings up your past it no longer has an effect on you.
Memorize scripture. I John 2:14b I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
Young Man
You have memorized so much scripture that you are able to quote it when Satan attacks and you can overcome him.
Deep Study. 2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Father
You are spirit­ually birthing followers of Jesus and are teaching them to obey everything that God has commanded you. You can see the hand of God from the beginning. Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Teach and Lead others.
