Take Care of Your Body as a Temple
If you're wondering why it is important to take care of your body, you will find the answer in 1 Corinthians.
"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." 1 Corinthians 3:16,17 (NIV)
Because God's Spirit lives in us, we should build up our bodies as temples for the Lord. By taking care of our health, we show respect for the Lord's dwelling place within us. On the other hand, when we destroy our health, we are destroying God's temple.
