Profitable Training! (part 13 of 14)

By now it should be clear that physical training is a GOOD INVESTMENT. It impacts our body inside and out. Bodily exercise contributes immensely to the quality of life.

The training in godliness is the GREATEST INVESTMENT we can possibly make. This INVESTMENT pays dividends beyond this life and even beyond our wildest expectations. God gives us good things in this life, but He has some of His greatest treasures in store for our eternity with Him. This is why a good heart condition is important to maintain.

Jesus urged. . .
"(20) but LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (21) For WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO." ( Matthew 6:20-21 ESV)

Benefits out of this world. Treasures in heaven. Is the INVESTMENT of our life right? Let us not make a half-hearted INVESTMENT. After all, what has God withheld in providing our redemption? (note Romans 8:32) Let us wholeheartedly INVEST our lives in seeking to do God's Will! Our quality of life now and the eternity to follow will surely be worth it all!

Have a great day KNOWING THE INHERITANCE WE WILL SHARE!
Carl
