PHYSICAL IMPORTANCE

1 Tim 4:8

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

“porque el ejercicio corporal para poco es provechoso, pero la piedad para todo aprovecha, pues tiene promesa de esta vida presente, y de la venidera.”

 

INTRO:  It isn’t saying that physical exercise is not important, what it is saying is that godliness training is above all.  The Apostle Paul talked about: 1) Runners; 2) Soldiers; 3) Athletes; and 4) hardworking farmers.

 

I.                     KNOWING HOW TO BALANCE THE THINGS IN LIFE

A.     We need to learn how to face life’s situations

                                                  i.      Mat. 6:33, 34 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” “Mas buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas os serán añadidas. Así que, no os afanéis por el día de mañana, porque el día de mañana traerá su afán. Basta a cada día su propio mal.”

 

II.                  KNOWING HOW TO REST OUR BODIES IN MIDST OF CRISIS

A.      1 Kings 19:6, 7 “He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” “Entonces él miró, y he aquí a su cabecera una torta cocida sobre las ascuas, y una vasija de agua; y comió y bebió, y volvió a dormirse. Y volviendo el ángel de Jehová la segunda vez, lo tocó, diciendo: Levántate y come, porque largo camino te resta.”

 

III.                KNOWING THAT WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD -Gn. 1:26 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness” “Entonces dijo Dios: Hagamos al hombre a nuestra imagen, conforme a nuestra semejanza;”

A.     We reflect God’s image

B.      We demonstrate God to those that don’t know Him

C.      We live according to our appreciation of live
