The Relation of physical health to spiritual health

Health – A Biblical Perspective

Health is a blessing of which few appreciate the value; yet upon it the efficiency of our mental and physical powers largely depends. Our impulses and passions have their seat in the body, and it must be kept in the best condition physically and under the most spiritual influences in order that our talents may be put to the highest use.

Anything that lessens physical strength enfeebles the mind and makes it less capable of discriminating between right and wrong. We become less capable of choosing the good and have less strength of will to do that which we know to be right.

The misuse of our physical powers shortens the period of time in which our lives can be used for the glory of God. And it unfits us to accomplish the work God has given us to do. By allowing ourselves to form wrong habits, by keeping late hours, by gratifying appetite at the expense of health, we lay the foundation for feebleness. By neglecting physical exercise, by overworking mind or body, we unbalance the nervous system. Those who thus shorten their lives and unfit themselves for service by disregarding nature’s laws, are guilty of robbery toward God. And they are robbing their fellow men also. The opportunity of blessing others, the very work for which God sent them into the world, has by their own course of action been cut short. And they have unfitted themselves to do even that which in a briefer period of time they might have accomplished. The Lord holds us guilty when by our injurious habits we thus deprive the world of good.

Transgression of physical law is transgression of the moral law; for God is as truly the author of physical laws as He is the author of the moral law. His law is written with His own finger upon every nerve, every muscle, every faculty, which has been entrusted to man. And every misuse of any part of our organism is a violation of that law.

All should have an intelligent knowledge of the human frame that they may keep their bodies in the condition necessary to do the work of the Lord. The physical life is to be carefully preserved and developed that through humanity the divine nature may be revealed in its fullness. The relation of the physical organism to the spiritual life is one of the most important branches of education. It should receive careful attention in the home and in the school. All need to become acquainted with their physical structure and the laws that control natural life. He who remains in willing ignorance of the laws of his physical being and who violates them through ignorance is sinning against God. All should place themselves in the best possible relation to life and health. Our habits should be brought under the control of a mind that is itself under the control of God.

“Know ye not,” says the apostle Paul, “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 6:19, 20.

Death In-Doors

Each year, many countries go through a cycle of seasons. In those countries where it gets cold for part of the year, especially in first-world countries where central heating is common, it is a common mistake to “hibernate” indoors; often for fear of “catching cold,” or just for physical comfort sake. This is a serious mistake. In most kinds of weather it is a wise and a healthy choice to be outside, to get exercise out of doors. The important consideration is not just the weather, but dressing for the weather. We take a brief excerpt from a health magazine from a number of years ago, and include a comment on the excerpt from another author from about the same time period. It is worthy of our consideration and implementation.

“MULTITUDES OF PERSONS HAVE A GREAT HORROR OF GOING OUT OF DOORS FOR FEAR OF TAKING COLD; IF IT IS A LITTLE DAMP OR A LITTLE WINDY, OR A LITTLE COLD, THEY WAIT AND WAIT; MEANWHILE, WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS MAY PASS AWAY, AND THEY NEVER DURING THAT WHOLE TIME BREATHE A SINGLE BREATH OF PURE AIR. THE RESULT IS, THEY BECOME SO ENFEEBLED THAT THEIR CONSTITUTIONS HAVE NO POWER OF RESISTANCE; THE LEAST THING IN THE WORLD GIVES THEM A COLD, EVEN GOING FROM ONE ROOM TO ANOTHER; AND BEFORE THEY KNOW IT THEY HAVE A COLD ALL THE TIME, AND THIS IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN CONSUMPTION, WHEREAS, IF AN OPPOSITE PRACTICE HAD BEEN FOLLOWED, OF GOING OUT AN HOUR OR TWO EACH DAY REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER, A VERY DIFFERENT RESULT WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. THE TRUTH IS, THE MORE A PERSON IS OUT OF DOORS THE LESS EASILY DOES HE TAKE COLD. IT IS A WIDELY KNOWN FACT THAT PERSONS WHO CAMP OUT EVERY NIGHT, OR SLEEP UNDER A TREE FOR WEEKS TOGETHER, SELDOM TAKE COLD AT ALL.  HALL’S JOURNAL OF HEALTH. 

“As I read the above, I involuntarily exclaimed, Good. At camp-meetings, we have tented out for weeks in succession, sleeping with the ends of the tent open to the air, and we have not suffered with colds. We have had better health when enjoying tent life than when living in doors. It is close confinement in doors that makes women pale and feeble, resulting in premature death.”  The Health Reformer, April 1, 1871.
