In this third part of his series on spiritual disciplines, Kong Hee goes deep into 1 Tim 4 and what it means to “exercise (gumnazo) yourself toward godliness”. In the Bible, every miracle Jesus performed came after a spiritual discipline He practised, eg He fed the 5000 after a time of silence and solitude; He walked on water after doing quiet time. Jesus “learned obedience from what He suffered” (Heb 5:8), therefore we must immerse ourselves in His lifestyle until the fruits of the spirit come forth. Pastor Kong reminds us that we are saved not only by Jesus’ death but also by the way he lives (Rom 5:10), and that the living soul came about when the divine came into contact with the human body. Every time our bodies have an encounter with God, we become more and more like Christ. Hence let us go to our spiritual gymnasium daily and become fit in the spirit, and in them we find rest for our souls.
