Victory Over Depression Part 1 Victory Over Depression Part 2 A Choice for God and Against the Flesh Healing in His Hands Good, Like Medicine Take Care Until He Comes Removing the Root Cause Our Bodies, His Temple	Take Care Until He Comes By Renée Lubinski The original sin of Adam affected mankind in three ways — spiritually, morally, and physically. Christ came as Savior of the world to save humanity from these threefold effects of sin. Therefore, when we by faith receive Christ as our Savior, we are to eventually work into surrendering to His transforming grace in all three of these areas. While we will not experience total release from the effects of sin until the second coming of Christ, in this Scripture study you will further consider what the Bible has to say about your body and the importance of taking care of it while you await His return. The reason why Christians must take care of their bodies is two-fold. In the first place, when we believers experience the new birth and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, we become the temple of God (1 Cor 3:16). Therefore, we must treat our bodies as God’s dwelling place. Secondly, as Christians we are ambassadors of Christ, called to witness Him to the world. In order that we may fully represent Christ and be used by His Spirit we must take heed to care for our temples, which in turn affect every area. Based on these two-fold reasons, the Bible gives counsel on healthful living. When Israel was under God’s rulership, God gave them several guidelines, not as a requirement for salvation but for their own good as His witnesses. Among these guidelines are many natural laws or health principles for living in divine health. Since we are made of the same material as the Jews, these health principles and laws are just as valid today as they were in Biblical times. In the following Scripture study you will further come to understand the basic health principles and laws laid down by God in His Word for your good and His glory. I encourage you to print this study off and prayerfully go through it, perhaps during your quiet time some morning. As you study God’s Word, I trust it will bring you to greater revelation on the care of your temple (your body) until He returns for you and you have your new, glorified body.
