A second truth the scriptures offer about the body is the clarification of its nature as a sacred gift from God. Though in mortality we will all die, because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ we will all be resurrected and united with our bodies forever (see 1 Cor. 15:22).

This is probably the most commonly quoted verse when it comes to beautyand body image, and for good reason! I’m sure if I asked you to describe your body, you could readily give me a list of your flaws, but would “wonderful” be anywhere in your description? It took a lot of work for me to read this verse and actually believe that what it was saying...
This verse to me is all about redefining beauty in our minds. Every culture has its own definitions and they are constantly changing. How is a girl ever supposed to keep up? You aren’t. God’s definition of beauty is unchanging – a gentle and quiet spirit “which is of great worth in God’s sight.” Nothing about height, weight, dress size, or anything...
Sometimes it feels like an uphill battle, right? I thought I would “arrive” after losing 100 pounds, but then there was the loose skin and then gray hairs started popping up, and the list of new “problems” just kept growing longer and longer. There are so many anti-aging products out there to hold off the wrinkles, grays, and sagging as long as pos...
The Lord does not look at the things people look at…the Lord looks at the heart. Isn’t that such a comfort? I don’t know about you, but I’ve wasted far too much time wishing I looked like skinny, fit celebrities and feeling like such a failure when I was giving it my allbut my body still fell so short of the world’s beauty standard. But God offers ...
Insecurities have a way of keeping us stuck and isolated. When I was 100 pounds overweight, I was desperate not to bring attention to myself because I didn’t want people to notice I was big (it sounds silly now, but it was so true of my reality back then). I didn’t want to draw attention to myself in a negative light, so I’d just completely skip ou...
Isn’t this so easy to forget? When I’m looking into the mirror, letting my eyes linger on every flaw I see, I’m sure not thinking about my body being a temple of the Holy Spirit! But, even though it’s not natural for me to see myself in that light, it’s the Truth. Your body is a divine gift. A temple. A dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. And that’...
My pastoroften talks about “closed-handed living.” That’s when we are holding so tightlyto the things of this world (like beauty, comparison, success, etc) that our fists are tightly shut, not allowing us to accept God’s blessings. When we focus on “open-handed living,” where we are constantly surrendering all of those things to the Lord, our hands...
As someone who really, really loves food, you would think this would have been easy for me, but the problem was, I loved food too much. I put food in a place in my life that was above God and that is NEVER glorifying to Him. For many years, I didn’t think God had anything to do with my eating, but I am more convinced than ever that God cares about ...
Even back then, they still described their bodies as “lowly.” Isn’t that interesting? I suppose because everything seems pretty lowly in comparison to being “like his glorious body.” Our bodies now are plagued by sin, mortality, aging, weakness, and frailty (among other things!), but there is hope for a future when all of that changes and even our ...
This is a Truth I hold onto often. I might not think much of my body, but whether I feel like it or not, I am an image bearer of God. I’m praying for you right now. Not that your eyes would be blind to the imperfections in your body, but that they would minimize the importance of those imperfections and magnify your worth in Christ. Don’t give up. ...
Aug 6, 2019 · In the book, Dr. Brand describes in detail the incredible wonder of the human body, knit together according to the plan of the Creator of all that exists. In addition, the Bible says that, alone of God’s creatures, we human beings bear God’s image—a notion definitely worth exploring.
Each body part carries profound significance, revealing God’s intentional design and purpose for our lives. Scripture teaches us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Every part plays a crucial role in fulfilling God’s plan for us to worship and glorify Him.

What is a theology of the body? It is easy for us to see our bodies as disconnected from our spirituality. Yet the Bible teaches us much about the purposefulness, value, and even sacredness of our bodies. Developing a biblical theology of our bodies provides crucial context for how we treat each other and how we engage numerous cultural questions.
