Tending our Earthly Vessels

The Bible teaches that our bodies are God's temple in which He lives when we exchange our old life for the new one God has for us in Jesus Christ. It also teaches we are not our own but have been bought and paid for at a price, the blood of Jesus Christ. Most people respect the property of others. Knowing our bodies were made by Him for temporary life on this Earth ought to encourage us to take care of them through exercise, eating right and not ingesting things that are bad for it. We read the manual for the proper care and maintenance of our cars. We can also read the "manual" for the proper care of our bodies.
