Our Body Our Life

Our Body, Our Life was written to help people become spiritually, mentally, and physically healthy and fit and live more greatly for God. Because Christ sacrificed greatly for us, we now have the potential to live greatly for Him. God wants us to be disciples, not just believers, and He rewards those who love Him wholeheartedly and seek Him diligently with abundant, fruitful lives. To live greatly for God, we must commit to mental and spiritual health and fitness, which results when we prayerfully seek God and live our lives His way-daily. While poor physical health and fitness is sometimes unavoidable, it often results from over-eating, under-exercising, and taking poor care of our bodies. Great physical health and fitness is achieved by eating nutritiously, exercising regularly, and taking great care of our bodies and results in an increased capacity to live greatly for God. Because the accumulation of our daily thoughts and actions so greatly impacts our spiritual, mental, and physical health and fitness, we pray that together God will help us practice the 49 life-renewing disciplines in this program and reward us with abundant, fruitful lives lived greatly for Him.
