Spiritually Fit

"For athletic training only benefits you for a short season but righteousness brings lasting benefit in everything; for righteousness contains the promise of life, for time and eternity."

-1 Timothy 4:8

The analogy of fitness physically to spiritually is used often when bringing context to the struggle and fight that it takes to achieve the goal that was placed before training starts. I would say that the goal of overcoming the cursed life we were placed in after Adam sinned is a struggle and fight to overcome. Our First Birth was born into sin, but our Second Birth is one of Victory. When it comes to hard things, people often shy away or fear the failure looking back at them. They bring doubt and anxiousness into the equation and freeze at the start line. For those brave enough to start, buckle up! Training takes discipline and over-whelming desire to stay the course. In 1 Timothy, the message is consistency and discipline in the right direction brings the ultimate reward. We can look to our physical training in the same light as spiritual training. The demand for righteousness is large, but the reward through the struggle is Salvation in Christ! Stay the course! Flee from wrongdoing and embrace the Lord for true strength will be found in him.

For it is not just of the body we offer fitness, but Faith Fit is for your consistency and discipline to condition and strengthen your faith through prayer and pursuit of the real almighty strength, Jesus Christ.
