The Apostle Paul clearly believed, there are benefits
for the body through exercising, but more is needed to fully benefit the whole
person. Paul stated “For bodily exercise
profiteth little: but godliness is
profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that
which is to come.”
1Timothy 4:8
Paul being a well educated man, who spoke several languages, knew that something far greater was needed. In order for a person to be complete and to have a healthy
body, a healthy diet, and a healthy mind is needed, along with a good
exercising program. When a person only
exercise, eat unhealthy foods, and have no spiritual consciousness they will
tire quicker, and their stress level will be higher. These factors will deeply affect this individual's behavior. Due to negative factors that produce stress and can plague the whole body, so much more is needed, in order to live peaceful and have a healthy mind, body, and soul.
One can't live peaceful within any environment, unless he or she is at peace within themselves. All these things have an affect on how such an individual treat others. Will they be able to have a successful relationship? Will they be a good parent? Can such an individual control their temper?
How Can We Help Ourselves?
It takes more than exercise, a beautiful body and knowledge, to make us whole and acceptable to God. How can we obtain wholeness? The first step is to understand our need for help on a spiritual level, of which only our creator can help us with. And that is to realize that without him, there can never be any good in us. We are all capable of committing sinful acts, because we can't obtain perfection. It is a goal, we set within our mind to achieve, always pushing ahead, though we may fall occasionally, we get up! and keep going because perfection is our goal and God is our judge.
Scripture:
Yea, If thy criest
after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searcheth for her as for
hid treasures;
Then shall thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find
the knowledge of God.
For the LORD giveth
wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2: 3-6 (K.J.V)
