Reason #2: God's Word Talks About Health

Why you should study health from a biblical perspective

When God Talks, Everyone Should Listen

As children of God, we need to know what God says about health simply because the Bible talks about it. II Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” If all Scripture is profitable, and if the Bible discusses health and nutrition, it too must be profitable to study and apply.

Today, with the rising incidents of disease and illness in the church, the need has never been greater to seek and share the timely topic of health from a Christian and biblical worldview.

The Whole Counsel of God

Paul boasted in Act 20:27 that he did not shrink back from declaring the whole counsel of God, and we have no lesser responsibility. All Scripture is profitable. How can we teach the whole counsel of God if we neglect to seek God’s counsel on health?

The Bible talks about health, therefore we have the responsibility to seek, know, apply, and share this information with others. And inasmuch as we have the power to remain healthy and be good stewards of the temples that God has given us, we should strive for excellence.

The next post will discuss how our health can affect our ministry and service to God, our creator.
