Healthy Living (your body is a temple)

Do you want a healthy life?  What does the Bible say about health?  Did you know that the picture below actually has very little (or quite possibly nothing at all) to do with the text included with it?

Have you noticed that people are becoming more strictly meticulous about the food they consider wholesome to eat--how they eat it, how to cook it or not cook it, how it is grown or how it was raised? There are vegans (both raw and not), vegetarians or fruitarians, all of which may consume GMOs and non-GMOs, or organic.  There is much debate to consume all of your time.

There are many fine pragmatic reasons to do many of these things, which in themselves are not sinful to do.  Meanwhile, however, the trend continues to become looser with the view of the body on what is wholesome use for sex.  From what we gaze upon to what we wholly give ourselves to physically.  Suffice it to say then that you may notice the scope of what people allow into their bodies is narrowing, while the scope of what we allow ourselves to do sexually is broadening.

But... God commands a different way.

"Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.”
1 Corinthians 6:13 ESV

You have heard it said that our bodies are a temple.  This is a Christian concept, and many non-Christians adhere to the same thought.  According to the Bible, however, you can know nothing of food--nothing at all--and you can still rightly represent God's gift, in expressing your bodies as that temple (contrary to what "Christian Today" would wrongly suggest in the image above).

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
1 Corinthians 6:13, 19-20 ESV

Become the fittest and leanest meanest vitamin-enriched shining example of natural living, and the spitting image of physical health, yet you may still be poorly conditioning yourself to be a temple of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore if you want to live healthy in God's economy, you may need to start thinking much less about how your food was raised, and much more about what you do with your sexual arousal.
