Each person has five ages at any one time.
-
Chronological: How many years?
-
Physical: How old does one look and feel?
-
Mental: How much does one know?
-
Emotional: How mature is one’s behavior?
-
Spiritual: How deep is one’s knowledge and practice of Christian principles?

“Every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” —Hebrews 5:13-14
