The body -a temple for the Holy Spirit.

Yes, the body is a temple for the Holy Spirit, but most people do not understand this secret, and others do not respect it.

We may ask if this biblical statement means only christians, but let me use it for all of us. The way people live in general in a rich country like Norway or other West European countries, eating too much, drinking lot of alcohol, taking drugs, eating lots of sweet and fat meat, no exercise, very little fruit and green - they might die early. We all have to die, but the will of God is that we shall live our full measure - a long life.

Then you ask: "What about people who live a good and healthy life, without those excesses you mentioned?

They even get cancer of the lungs without smoking a single cigarette, when heavy smokers do not get cancer at all?"

I have no good answer except that passive smoking also is a great danger, I know special one of them, and today he has that diagnosis.

Let us put it like this: The body of ours, made by the Creator God, is not made to tolerate tobacco, too much wine or other alcoholic drinks, drugs, inactivity, stress, overeating a.s.f.

All of us are told to use common sense. This godgiven wisdom tells us about a certain lifestyle that is good for our beings. God is interested in our lives. He wants us to be healthy and strong .

God is a loving God. He has made plans to bless us. All his rules and commands he has given us to our benefit. Most of all: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. So that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3,16)

This is Gods supreme plan for you and for your family. This wonderful plan is for this life and the life to come. I will ask God's blessing upon you.
