與朋友聊天時，她告知因為健康檢查，身體狀況得到警訊，於是開始節制飲食及運動，不再放縱自己的口腹之慾，結果得到好的果效，她滿心歡喜。

我們屬靈生命也是如此，神藉著一些事情對我們發出警訊，我們應當學習功課改掉壞習慣，要攻克己身，叫己身服我，當我們這麼作的時候，屬靈生命也會得到果效而更健康。在改進的過程中，有時我們可能還犯小錯誤，但如果我們戰勝它，屬靈免疫力也增強了，就像每次感冒戰勝病毒之後，免疫力就增強一樣，下次面對同樣同樣情況（病毒）就有抵抗力了。馬克·吐溫說過：「持續的改進勝過延遲的完美。」我們操練攻克己身不是一蹴即成的，是要持續的改進，以日漸完善為目標，讓我們一起靠主耶穌基督得勝。

「你們不知道在運動場上賽跑的，大家都跑，但得獎賞的只有一人？你們也要這樣跑，好使你們得著獎賞。 凡參加競賽的，在各方面都要有節制，他們不過是要得會朽壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不會朽壞的冠冕。 所以，我奔跑，不像無目標的；我鬥拳，不像打空氣的。 我克制己身，使它完全順服，免得我傳福音給別人，自己反而被淘汰了。」哥林多前書 9:24-27

「親愛的，你們是客旅，是寄居的，我勸你們要禁戒肉體的情慾；這情慾是與靈魂爭戰的。」

彼得前書 2:11

「你們若順從肉體活著，必定會死；若靠著聖靈把身體的惡行處死，就必存活。」羅馬書 8:13

「人若自潔，脫離卑賤的事，必成為貴重的器皿，成為聖潔，合乎主用，預備行各樣的善事。 你要逃避年輕人的私慾，同那以純潔的心求告主的人追求公義、信實、仁愛、和平。」提摩太後書 2:21-22

When chatting with a friend, I was told that because of her physical checkup, her Doctor informed her of some issues with her health. Therefore she decided to make changes regarding her diet and exercise. She stopped indulging herself and exercised more. The results were good and she was full of joy.

The same is true for our spiritual life. God uses certain things to warn us. We should learn our lessons properly, and get rid of bad habits. We must overcome our desires and discipline ourselves to do what is right. When we do this, our spiritual life will also get positive results, and we will be healthier spiritually. In the process of improvement, sometimes we may still make mistakes, but if we overcome them, our spiritual immunity will also increase, just like overcoming a virus every time we catch cold, our immunity will increase. We will be able to resist it when we face the same situation (virus) again. Mark Twain said: "Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection." We practice to overcome our desires, but it is not an overnight matter, but we are to continuously improve with the goal of gradual improvement. Let us overcome it together through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NLT

“Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.” 1 Peter 2:11 NLT

“For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.” Romans 8:13 NLT

“If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:21-22 NLT
