Training For Christ

It is good to be physically fit, but what about our soul and spirit?

For it’s a man’s spirit and soul, which makes him spiritually whole.

Physical fitness now my friend, has no spiritual benefit in the end,

But it’s the training in godliness, which leads us to spiritual fitness.



All us who belong to God’s Son, need to train for the life to come,

Through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, for the present and a future life,

Our manual is the Word of God, as we labor upon this earthly sod,

With eternity as our final goal, we need training for our eternal soul.



Exercises for our heart and mind, with a training of a different kind,

And memory is the place to start, as we hide The Word in our heart.

This won’t strength us physically, but prepare our souls for eternity,

And as God’s Truth we do recall, we’re lifted up as we begin to fall.



This training by The Spirit inside, helps believers in Christ, to abide,

As The Lord transforms our mind, leaving old worldly ways behind.

This as we exercise our new life, living for The Savior, Jesus Christ,

And when we’re lifted from that fall, it’s in Christ, we then stand tall.



This training is second to none, as men train for God’s Eternal Son,

Who begins training in all men, who in Christ have been Born Again,

Training which shall continue until, Christ completes His Father’s will,

Then all who trained on the earth, will receive reward of eternal worth.
