What Is Spiritual Training? | 1 Timothy 4:7-8

Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. — 1 Timothy 4:7-8 So the principle here is pretty simple. Wrong beliefs lead to wrong actions. Right beliefs lead to right actions. And then, Paul exhorts Timothy to get his act in order by being trained in godly beliefs that have eternal value. So the question on the table is this: What does spiritual training look like, and how do we get it? In the context of this letter, spiritual training would include: Reading the truth. Knowing the truth. Living the truth. But we could also add spiritual training, includes: Discerning truth from untruth. Training others to read, know, live, and discern the truth. But spiritual training assumes some things too. It assumes: We're not being passive in our spiritual development. We're actively searching scripture to find the truth. We're scanning our life for beliefs we need to change. We're implementing these changes into our lives. Others see the spiritual transformation in us and are being affected by it.
