As Paul compares physical training and exercise with that of spiritual growth, he makes it very clear "godliness doesn't just happen".  Since there's no "magic wand" that transforms our lifestyle into one that demonstrates God, we each have to take responsibility to train ourselves toward the ways of God.

This is no easy task for any follower of Christ and isn't intended to impose a legalistic lifestyle but rather one of liberty and joy of living in the righteousness of our salvation.

 
Blessings,
