Does Physical Fitness Really Matter?

You matter to God! God is concerned about the whole person - body, soul and spirit.

"Your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (CEV)

Your body is the vehicle through which He operates to accomplish His purpose in and through you. The Bible calls the believer's body His "temple". Physical fitness is your way of honoring God with your body. Health and wholeness offer God the opportunity to use you in ways that would be limited if you disregarded your physical well being.

Another translation of this verse says, "Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." (The Msg)
