What does it mean to be 'weaned' in the context of faith?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'weaned' signifies spiritual maturity and the ability to grasp deeper truths of the gospel.

In spiritual terms, to be weaned reflects a stage of growth in which a believer moves from the basic elements of faith to a more profound understanding and appreciation of the gospel. The sermon connects the weaning of Isaac with the believer's growth in grace, suggesting that as one matures in Christ, they become able to comprehend and rest in the fullness of God's promises. This maturation is necessary to partake of the deeper truths revealed in the gospel, indicating that growing up in grace involves recognizing our unmerited favor and living in response to it, much like how a weaned child transitions from milk to solid food.
