personal thoughts
personal thoughts
What are your personal thoughts about how you can
be discerning in relation to your body image?
Colossians 3:17
body image is not only the way we dress, it involves who we are today and who we want to be in the future, it has a lot to do with the way the world sees us and as disciples of Christ we should use our body image to honor Him. In my opinion, I have a lot to change about my body image.
Health is one of the most important parts of body image, but what the world tells us today is that we can do whatever we want with our bodies. This is the greatest error, we have been made the image of Christ and our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
lifestyle choices
How might your decisions in this area affect your lifestyle choices and your
relationship with God as you “live in the waiting” (for Jesus to return)?
- life is defined in making the right decisions at the right moments and with our body image is not different we should do everything thinking if it pleases God and live waiting for his return
1 Corinthians 10:31
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
