How sad—this young lady cares only about a martial art (BJJ). According to her, it’s her whole life. Think about that.
Never forget about the guy who dedicated his entire life to martial arts, got his black belt, won the world championships, signed lots of autographs, appeared in movies next to big stars, then died and went to hell.
Listen, martial arts cannot save you from your sins. Martial arts cannot make you into a good person. If all your life consists of is martial arts, you are not living, but you are dead in your sins. You need to get a life.
The Bible alone is the Word of God. The Law teaches us what despicable sinners we are, while the Gospel teaches us our only hope—Jesus Christ and what He alone did for us.
If you know more about jiu-jitsu or judo than you do about the Bible, you have a serious problem. David was one of the greatest warriors in history, but he never placed his martial skills above the Word of God. He wrote the following:
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”
Psalm 20:7
This land is filled with people who are distracted by things that are of little importance. The one thing that is of utmost importance—knowing the Bible alone, which is the Word of God—is ignored in our apostate land of sinners. Martial arts will fail, but the Bible will never fail, and that is exactly why the Bible says:
“Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail.”
Isaiah 34:16
