Philippians 3:15
Let those of you who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
We might judge Christian maturity in a variety of ways, but one of the ways that Paul evaluates it here is are they thinking in this way. What is THIS way? The ideas he has been covering in the previous verses: Considering everything as loss compared to Jesus, knowing that our righteousness comes through faith and not to law, pressing on towards Jesus.
Paul also indicates that if immature believers are to mature in this way of thinking, it will be God who reveals it to them. We can't even take credit for mature thinking as a believer, it is only because God has revealed it to us!
