We like to see quick results. And the results of a well-trained, healthy body are more obvious. Results of spiritual fitness may be harder to detect at first glance and require more discipline to develop. The benefits of physical fitness affect this life only. But as we have just read in the Scriptures, a life disciplined in godliness benefits us not only in this life, but also in the life that is to come.
Many people enroll in physical fitness programs.
We must also enroll in God's spiritual fitness plan. The first step in enrolling is to acknowledge we need help. It is impossible for us in our natural state to be godly. Jesus came to heal us from sin and its consequences in our lives. We need only to personally accept His sacrifice for our spiritual healing.
