Ephesians 4:13-14 ESV

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

These verses stress the importance of getting mature in Christ, in faith and in knowledge of God. Being mature helps us remain focused, able to discern right from wrong, to stay stable in this world.

Without the knowledge of God, we are at the mercy of what people told us, and their words are shifting & only partially correct, easily misunderstood & being used by evil spirits to lead us astray. So regular Bible study is critical to strengthen our faith & guard  against deception.
