On A Diet

On A Diet

Your body is the Temple for the Holy Spirit and represents the life God gave each of us. Don’t take such a precious gift for granted, take care of yourself.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

↓ Transcript
Nim: Why am I on this stupid diet? It's not like it's a sin or anything to be fat!
Abby: Maybe it's not a sin, but it shows ingratitude to God for his gift of life. Plus, our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and should be kept as pure as possible.
Nim: Don't argue with me today, fuzzball! I may be small, but I'm hungry!

Look at what you do to excess and ask, "Is this interfering with my relationship with God?"

Nothing to Fear

Throughout the Bible, we’re told “fear not,” “have no fear” & “do not be afraid.” When you give your soul to Christ, you can rest easy in His protection.

So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

Hebrews 13:6

Abby: Your fear of thunder is irrational, Con.
Con: I know.
Abby: Thunder is just a sonic wave created by the expansion of air surrounding a bolt of lightning.
Con: I know it's irrational, but you of all people should understand. After all, you're afraid of rolled-up newspapers.
Abby: You're not actually comparing a little thunder to "Satan's Baseball Bats," are you?

With God, we have nothing to fear.

Fear - Godless Thunder

1 John 4:18 is one of the 365 times that we’re told in the Bible we should have no fear. God can help you get over any fear you have, just ask Him for help.

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
