What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:10

  • Good verse to use for losing weight, or anything else really. We should not abuse our bodies since they are the temple of Christ.

    Yes! This is one of the main reasons want to build a healthy lifestyle. I really want to honor God with my body and with how I eat. I don't want poor health to be a hinderance in Kindgom work either :)

    I agree. I find it offensive and sinful when Christians joke about all the junk food they are always eating. I tried to convince a ladies group to bring healthy food, but they were not interested. Apparently studying God's word goes hand in hand with eating excessive amounts of junk food .
