ALL THINGS NEW
New Fitness

Romans 8:1 (NIV) 1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

SOUL TATTOO: New Fitness is becoming whole so God can use me fully.

Getting Every Part of Me Fit for the Master’s Use.

1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV) 8For 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.

1.) Fitness starts with intentional training.

You don’t get fit by accident, spiritually or physically.

SPIRITUAL FITNESS: Train your spirit on purpose and with purpose. 

Godliness doesn’t happen passively, it requires discipline.

1 Timothy 4:7b (NIV) … train yourself to be godly.

What I don’t train, I don’t strengthen.

PHYSICAL FITNESS: Train your body intentionally. 

Movement, rest, and consistency matter.

1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (NIV) 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.

My body is not my enemy, it’s my assignment.

2.) Fitness requires removing what contaminates.

You can’t pour fresh oil into a dirty vessel.

SPIRITUAL FITNESS: Clean your soul from what defiles and distracts.

God wants vessels that are empty and clean.

2 Corinthians 7:1b (TMSG) …let’s make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us, both within and without. Let’s make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God.

God fills what I’m willing to empty.

PHYSICAL FITNESS: Remove habits that poison your body.

This isn’t about shame, it’s about stewardship.

Romans 12:1 (NIV) 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, this is your true and proper worship.

I can’t expect strength where I allow sickness.

3.) Fitness is about alignment, not perfection.

SPIRITUAL FITNESS: Align your soul with your redeemed spirit. 

If you’re in Christ, your spirit is already made new, the work now is alignment.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (NIV) 23May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

New fitness means my soul and body catching up to my spirit.

PHYSICAL FITNESS: Bring your body into agreement with God’s purpose.

You don’t need perfection, you need availability.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NIV) 24The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

Fitness isn’t about appearance, it’s about availability.

MAKE IT PRACTICAL: Becoming a fit vessel.

What makes a vessel fit for the Master’s use?

Practical Steps:

God doesn’t use perfect vessels, He uses surrendered ones.

SOUL TATTOO: New Fitness is becoming whole so God can use me fully.
