A Saving Health
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Third John 1:2
The world’s fragmented notion of health has left us restless and unsatisfied in its neglect of our souls. The Scriptures themselves refuse to treat health as the purely physical state it is regarded today, instead presenting a comprehensive view that emphasizes its spiritual aspect.
When we come to end of our earthly lives and shed our bodies like worn garments, it will not matter much that we ate organic vegetables or drank herbal teas, but it will matter a great deal whether our souls are dead in sin or alive in Christ. How is your soul?
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward. Isaiah 58:8
