"Heal me, O LORD, and I shall
be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise."
(Jeremiah 17:14)
Is there a "Christian" approach to human health? If so, what does it
look like? How does it differ from the way we generally deal with health
in American society?
As we seek to enjoy the blessings of God in our lives, it is necessary
that we bring those lives increasingly under His control. In an ultimate
sense, of course, everything is absolutely under God's control. In an
immediate sense, however, there is much we can do to make our lives
conform better to God's holy Word and to improve our relationship with
Him. One of the significant areas we should consider is how to take proper
care of this body that God has provided so that we are able to perform His
will on this earth.
