Weaning Illustration

Jorge Soto

Jorge discusses the importance of moving from being dependent on spiritual teaching and guidance from others to developing a personal, direct relationship with God through studying His Word. He uses the analogy of weaning an infant off milk to illustrate this transition. The key points are: 1) Initially, relying on spiritual 'milk' or teaching from others is appropriate and necessary for growth. 2) However, the goal should be to gradually decrease dependence on others and increase personal time studying Scripture and building a relationship with God directly. 3) This transition requires patience and guidance, as some may not be ready to let go of their spiritual leaders right away. 4) Ultimately, having one's own conviction and hearing from God personally is vital for a healthy, mature relationship with Him.
