What Are We Training For?
What are we training for? Are we training ourselves to resemble the culture or are we training ourselves to resemble the Christ?
Are we developing and maintaining worldly habits or are we developing and maintaining godly habits?
If we profess that “Jesus is Lord”, we ought to be Cross Training as hard as we can – training ourselves to be like Christ. Let’s give our everything to the One who gave us everything.
Paul says that we should run the Christian race as if we were trying to win first prize – a way that requires discipline and self-control.
Moreso than physically, spiritually we have to stay in shape. We must train our hearts to surrender to the Savior. We must train our minds to be renewed by the Redeemer.
We must have a healthy, spiritual diet and exercise routine, so that we might bring every facet of our lives under control – for the sake of the Gospel – and with the help of the Holy Spirit.
And we do so not for earthly glory that fades, but everlasting glory that will never pass away.
