5 Health Rules to Change Your Body This Year
We have allowed a secret sin to somehow become acceptable in the Church. That sin is gluttony, manifested through obesity. As a man who struggles with my weight, I believe I can speak to this issue.
“Are you fat-shaming me?” No. But I am asking you to take responsibility for your sin, repent, and enter the struggle for victory and freedom. It isn’t a metabolic problem. It isn’t a genetic problem. It is a gluttony problem.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body.”
We must honor God with our bodies for three reasons.
-
To steward the body God gave us to manage through life.
-
As believers, we have given our bodies for His purpose when we receive Jesus as our Savior.
-
Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
