A Whole Person

[T]he very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1st Thessalonians 5:23

It is a mistake to believe God is only interested in our "soul".

God created us spirit, soul, and body¹ in his image² and for a reason. One should presume the original intent has not been changed, only delayed, by humanity's obstinance.

Jesus came to preserve the whole person and fulfill God's design in us. Submitted to God, our bodies are holy and pleasing³ to him and he has a divine purpose for them.

Take care of your body, God has a use for it.
