Your Body Is a Temple
Many of us treat our bodies more like a garbage can than a temple. We eat and drink
all manner of unhealthy substances, we fail to get the proper rest and exercise that we
need, and we generally neglect our health until we don’t have it. We know a lot more
about how to keep our bodies healthy than they did in Biblical times, and yet, ironically,
more people are obese than ever before, simply because we eat too much and exer
cise too little. Sadly, much of modern-day illness and death are due to preventable
causes, such as using tobacco or misusing alcohol, poor diet and inactivity, or simply
not wearing seat belts. God did not give our bodies to be squandered or defiled, and if
we engage in bad habits which wear out or destroy our body before its time, we are
neglecting this wonderful gift from God. So, we should take care of our body: eat right,
exercise daily, and get plenty of rest. We will probably find that the spirit that dwells
within us will be a lot happier once we start taking better care of our temple. And, we
should remember that it’s not just what goes into our body that defiles it, but also, the
behaviors which come out of it.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you
were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. R.S.V. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
