Many Christians assume that spiritual maturity is measured
by the amount of biblical information and doctrine you now. While knowledge is
one measurement of maturity, it isn’t
all that matters.
"Too many Christians are educated
beyond their level of obedience."
The Christian life is far more than creeds and convictions; it includes conduct
and character.
Your deeds must be consistent with your creeds, and your beliefs
must be backed up with Christlike behavior.
Remember the words of Jesus in Luke 6:46 “And why do you
call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?”
In what areas of your life does God want greater obedience?
Today's Missional Challenge: Commit yourself to lifelong
obedience to Christ!

You're right. Indeed the most obedient believers are often the newest believers!
I think that's often the case (not always, clearly). They are certainly amongst the most eager, active and zealous believers.
If we say that education is the key to knowledge, what would we say is the key to obedience? What underpins obedience?
I'd say it's listening and hearing. We can't do what we are told unless we hear.
