"Physical training is good, but training for Godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and the life to come."
Do you do a physical workout daily or on a regular basis? Are you involved in a physical training program that requires your time and effort on a regular basis? Are you attempting to keep your body youthful and attractive? In contrast, how much time do you spend training for Godliness? Physical fitness is good, but SPIRITUAL TRAINING for Godliness is much better and does more to benefit you in this life and in your life to come. Do you at least give the same effort to both physical and spiritual training? You will lose your young and beautiful body and your physical strength in the end. One thing happens to all of us, we die once and then the judgement. That is why in this One Truth Today there is a promise for those who engage in SPIRITUAL TRAINING. You will reap the benefits in this life and your life to come!
Your earthly body will benefit from physical training, but only for the short time you are here on earth. SPIRITUAL TRAINING is so much more beneficial in that helps you now during your time here on earth and it prepares you for the Heavenly Kingdom where you will spend eternity! At a certain point in your life you will be absent from your body, but as a believer you will be present with the Lord. When you consider the end result there is no comparison to the effort given for physical training and SPIRITUAL TRAINING. Where do you think it is more profitable to spend your time and energy? We are not suggesting that you let your body go or your health. Physical training is good, Godly training is better and more profitable to you!
Reading and studying the Word of God and then putting into action the scriptures in your life is a way to train for Godliness. Attending Church on a regular basis and joining with other believer's in worshiping God is a great way to train for Godliness. Daily reading of the Word in private and in prayer is a way to train for Godliness. Listening to Sermons and digesting the messages is a way to train for Godliness. Learning about the Laws of God, and His Prophets is a way to understand God's will for your life. Our daily bread should be the Word of God. If you want to nourish and feed your spiritual body feed it with the Word. The more we eat, the more we grow and the more spiritual we become. How is your health, your spiritual health that is?
So we must spend each of our days in ways that will lead to the best reward for life. The best answer is to increase your SPIRITUAL TRAINING!
