INTRODUCTION

Any problem that has to be dealt with by people who are spiritual immature can divide a church, no matter how small it may appear.
Paul ties the partisan spirit that is dividing the church to the failure of the members to grow up spiritually.

SPIRITUAL IMMATURITY DIVIDES (3:1-4)

Paul suggest the reason he has not shared more of the divine wisdom with them is that they have not been spiritually mature enough to receive it.
Paul is suggesting that the spiritual immaturity of the Corinthians Christiana had limited what he was able to teach them.

GREAT AUDIENCE MAKES GREAT SPEAKERS

what is communicated is controlled by the interest, experience, understanding, and spiritual maturity of the listener.
Paul used to terms to describe them 1.“carnal” , And 2. “babes” in Christ.
As Paul use the words, they meant the same.
Carnal means not to be spiritual. They had received the Spirit, but their lives were still being controlled by their old nature.
“babes” in Christ meant that they had truly experienced new birth, but that instead of having begun to grow up and mature they had remained in a state of spiritual infancy,.
