Description

“God’s eternal plan for your life includes your physicality.” — Sam AllberryAt TGC21, Sam Allberry gives five reasons why our bodies are good and how we should treat them as we wait for bodily redemption.Our bodies are not accidental, for we were “fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139)Our bodies are not incidental. God created Adam in the flesh and then breathed life into him. The flesh is not just a casing for our soul.Our bodies are not straight-forward. We are broken and have been subjected to futility with the rest of creation. (One common example of this brokenness is idolatry of the body.)Our bodies are not ours, for we were “bought with a price.” (1 Cor. 6:19)Our bodies are not yet finished. One day, Jesus will transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body.As believers, we can honor our physical bodies by seeing ourselves through a gospel lens, remembering that one day, God will—like all things—make our us new.
