Realize God created everything, and that He created us as human beings in His image.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1:1
"So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27
Recognize that we live in a sinful world corrupted by sinful people. The Law of God (10 Commandments: 10 coveting, 9 lying, 8 stealing, 7 adultery / lust, 6 murder / anger, 5 dishonoring parents, 4 breaking the Sabbath, 3 blasphemy, 2 making idols, 1 idolatry) reveals our sin and how we fall short of God's standard for our lives. The result is death, both physical and spiritual (hell).
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...sin is lawlessness (ignoring and breaking God's law)."
Romans 3:23; 1 John 3:4
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23
Confess your sins to God and turn from them (repent). Confess you are putting your full trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who, in His love for you, died for your sins and rose again from the dead. Confess Him as your Savior and Lord. He will grant you forgiveness and eternal life. You will be born again with a new heart and new desires - A NEW LIFE!
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. That whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the gospel (the good news of Jesus)"
Mark 1:15
"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9
Understand that sin has affected everything including our physical health. We long for good health, but we can only do so much to stay healthy.
"For in this tent (earthly body) we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling (our new body in heaven)..."
2 Corinthians 5:2
"For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies."
Romans 8:22-23
Trust God who has granted to everyone life and health in varying degrees. In His grace, He has given us the freedom, wisdom and power to pursue good health as we steward the temple of the bodies He has given us in this life. As Christians, also by God's grace, we look forward to an eternity of perfect health in resurrected bodies in Heaven!
"For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace."
John 1:16
"...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..."
1 Corinthians 6:19
"So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power."
1 Corinthians 15:42-43
Glorify God in how you care for and use your body. To glorify God means to honor Him as holy, to reveal His good character, and to magnify Him as Creator.
"...So glorify God in your body."
1 Corinthians 6:20
FREEDOM AND HOPE AND LIFE!
You have the freedom to do your best to maintain and improve your physical health, but only to a limited degree. However, and more importantly, you can build better spiritual health which has benefit in this life and in eternity! By taking these steps, you will someday be fully healthy in body and soul in Heaven with God forever. This is real hope!
"For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come."
1 Timothy 4:8
