Such are the two great principles which Paul puts in strong contrast in the prescription we are now considering. He places opposite to one another "foods" and "grace" --Ceremonialism and the Gospel--Ritualism and the free love of God in Christ Jesus. And then he lays down the great principle that it is by "grace," and "not foods," that the heart is strengthened.

Concur on the grace doctrines.
One note regarding food, the ceremonial food was not what grew the soul or the heart, but still from the human spirit, when spiritual food is provided through faith in Christ, while in fellowship, the mind and then the heart are continually sanctified and made strong by the power of God through His grace.
The baby food is consumed so that we might all have the basics, but spiritual growth also requires daily intake of Bible doctrine, then growing still spiritually faith upon faith.
