Fit for life

 “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” -  1 Timothy 4:8

WE certainly live in a health-conscious world. Sport is an admirable means of social upliftment. And what with the soccer World Cup, Wimbledon and the Tour de France bringing heroes – and a few false idols, let it be said – into our living rooms, many people are obsessed with sport. Of course, physical fitness is vital – our lives depend on it. But let’s be reminded that our spiritual fitness is even more important - because our eternal life in heaven someday depends on it. We must not neglect our bodies, but even more so we must take care that our lives are fit for Christ.
