“Aspects of Physical and Spiritual Training”

 

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.       1 Timothy 4:8

 

Some people will spend lots of time and money on their PHYSICAL well-being, which in its self is NOT bad.  We should be taking care of our PHYSICAL bodies.  First and foremost, because it is the temple of the Holy Spirit, for the TRUE BELIEVER.  The care of our bodies is important to its HEALTH and WELL-BEING. 

 

However, we seem to neglect the SPIRITUAL training of our souls.  Our bodies are mortal, and one day they will cease to have life in them and will die, the Bible tells us that our bodies are like GRASS, the GRASS withers and the flowers fall.  (1 Peter 1:24)  No matter how much money or time you spend on your PHYSICAL training, your body will deteriorate and your vital organs will cease to function.  Your body will NOT survive the years of OLD AGE, it is MORTAL, it is NOT meant to LIVE ON as IMMORTAL on this earth.   

 

However, the part of YOU that is IMMORTAL, is your SOUL, which will LIVE ON for ALL of ETERNITY.  You MUST NOT neglect your SPIRITUAL TRAINING.  I am talking about your SALVATION, SANCTIFICATION and GLORIFICATION.  If you intend to spend your ETERNIY in HEAVEN, you MUST GIVE your HEART and LIFE to God.  And CONCENTRATE on your SPIRITUAL TRAINING, by READING and STUDYING the Word of God, and ALLOWING His Spirit to GUIDE you and TEACH you the TRUTH of the Word, so that you MIGHT be PLEASING and ACCEPTABLE to Him.   Have you done this?  If so, then you NEED to STAY in the WORD, DAILY, and have QUALITY time with the Lord, DAILY.   Then EXERCISE your FAITH, by doing the GOOD DEEDS, God has placed before you.   

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are SPIRITUALLY FEEBLE, and your IMMORTAL SOUL will be spending an ETERNITY in HELL, the place of UNENDING torment, torture, heartache, pain, agony, and despair, with NO WAY of ESCAPE.  However, God is OFFERING you the opportunity to CHANGE your DESTINY, by TURNING AWAY FROM your SINFUL lifestyle and TURNING TO Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and be SPIRITUALLY TRAINED as well as PHYSICALLY TRAINED.  Do it NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
