Constructing a God-honoring body image
Body image is an important aspect of the Christian life that is often overlooked. Whether you are male or female, young or old, you will experience life stage changes that impact the way you think and feel about your body.
If God created our bodies, became embodied to redeem us, indwells our bodies as his temple, and promises physical resurrection, then your body is important to him. That reality means the way you think about your body matters. Then, the way those thoughts make you feel about your body matters. And finally, the way those feelings make you act matters as well.

Instead of being subjectively formed by insecurities and worldly influences, our body image should be objectively based on what God says about our bodies.
