What God has to say about our bodies
When it comes to thinking about our bodies, confusion reigns. In our secular age, there has been a loss of the body’s goodness, purpose, and end. Many people, driven by a lack of self-worth and idolatry, misuse their body through harm or self-improvement. How can we renew our understanding and see our bodies the way God does? While sin has corrupted our bodies and how we think of them, God’s creation is still good. Thus, our bodies are good gifts that enable us to worship Him, love one another and express who we are. Importantly, in the Bible story, the Son took on a body to redeem our bodies, eternally. Our bodies matter.
