Just as you grow socially in maturity, you must also grow spiritually in maturity. As your faith in Jesus because stronger, your actions will (should) reflect that. You will learn to deny your feelings of anger, envy, greed, lack of forgiveness and the likes, and in turn embrace feelings of elation, love and compassion. The more you live like Christ, the better the example you set for the christian faith. A good way to make sure you are staying on track with your spiritual maturity is to seek guidance from an older (spiritually, not necessarily chronologically) christian, and ask them if you are portraying Christ in your actions or if you are lacking in growth. IF you are truly growing in spiritual maturity, you will be able to accept help and constructive criticism without becoming enraged.
If you feel like you are on the right track with Jesus, GREAT! Continue doing what you're doing…If you feel you are lacking in maturity, the time to work on that is now!
