YOUR BODY: A TEMPLE

 Learning about health in the Bible is exciting and very, very rewarding because it is about you, about now. About the future. The intricacies of your amazing body are brought into the spiritual realm: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.”

It is more than about you and me; caring for our bodies has to do with pleasing the LORD,

When you are in charge of your personal temple (and if you are a Christian) it is the temple of God, then eating, exercise, personal interactions with others, even your thoughts, and good deeds (like serving others) are all part of treating your temple with care and love and knowledge.

How much can you and I know about caring for our health? Not much: the more chemists study the tiny cell the more intricacies the cell reveals. So how can we be knowledgeable to know how to care for this personal temple, which is you and me? 

Look for food mentioned in Scripture.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9

Today there are scientists who claim they are near creating life: they are not. According to Dr. James Tour, (American synthetic organic chemist, jmtour.com) we will never come near to creating life in our lifetime. The more scientists know the more they realize they do not know.

But we, as created in His own image, are privileged to be the most powerful and hopeful creation of God.

Taking care of this “Spirit, Soul and Body” is more than a responsibility, it is a calling. Where are the answers? Everything you need to know can start in the Bible. From there, go, research where He leads. The Holy Spirit of God will guide you: "…when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will shew you things to come." John 16:13.
