God created each of
us as a total being, and therefore is interested in each of us as a total
being. Most important, He wants to see
us grow near to Him spiritually. He also
wants to see our minds challenged. He
wants to see us emotionally and physically healthy. He is interested in our moral conscience,
desires, speech, social relationships, and plans for the future. He is no less interested in our physical well
being and how we treat our bodies. The body
is the vehicle for all the rest.
The owner’s manual
for a car I brought was entitled “The Proper Care and Maintenance of Your
Vehicle.” If car manufacturers... are so
interested in how I care for my vehicle…. How much more is God concerned about how
we care for the “vehicles” He has placed us in?
We don’t put gas in
the radiator or water in the engine.
Why? Because we know it will ruin everything… Yet even though we see the
awful damage premarital sex continues to cause in lives all around us, millions
of people engage in it nonetheless. They
may even glance through the Manuel and claim a knowledge of the subject, yet they
continue to take part in sex out of the context God established. If God tells us sex is wrong because it
wrongs our bodies, He knows what He is talking about. Remember, this vehicle is His design.
God wants us to be
good stewards, good caretakers of what He has given us. That goes for money, possessions, talents,
spiritual gifts, and our bodies, everything entrusted to us
