Healed to Know Him: How Health and Knowing Jesus Go Hand in Hand

‍

Intro

Yo, let’s talk about something most folks don’t connect—your health and your relationship with Jesus.

‍

Some think knowing Jesus is just about church, prayer, and heaven talk. But Jesus came to give life—and that includes your body, your habits, and your mind.

‍

See, it ain’t about six-pack abs or meal plans—it’s about stewarding the body He gave you, so you can walk out your purpose with strength.

‍

Let’s break down why health and knowing Jesus go together like breath and lungs.

‍

1: Jesus Cares About the Whole You—Body and Breath.

Some folks act like Jesus only came for your just like you are. Nah—He healed, touched, restored, and fed people too.

‍

Matthew 9:35 says:

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages… healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

‍

That means:

• Jesus ain’t just the Savior of your soul—He’s the Restorer of your whole being.

• Your physical health matters to Him, just like your spiritual life.

• If He took time to heal the body, that tells you it matters to God.

‍

He came to bring life, not just after He returns—but right here, right now.

‍

2: A Healthy Body Helps You Walk in Purpose

You can’t serve strong when your body’s always run-down.

You can’t pour out if you’re always empty.

‍

God’s called you to something big—and your body is the vessel.

‍

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says:

“Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit… Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

‍

That means:

• Taking care of your health is a form of worship.

• You don’t need to be perfect—but you do need to be intentional.

• Jesus gave you this body—don’t treat it like it’s disposable.

‍

The healthier you are, the more energy you’ve got to love, serve, and live bold.

‍

3: Knowing Jesus Transforms How You Treat Yourself

When you know Jesus, you start seeing yourself through His eyes.

‍

You realize—you’re not junk. You’re fearfully and wonderfully made.

‍

Psalm 139:14 says:

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”

‍

That means:

• Knowing Him reminds you that your body is not a mistake—it’s handcrafted.

• You stop abusing it and start respecting it.

• You begin making choices not out of shame, but out of love for what God designed.

‍

Knowing Jesus changes your identity—and that identity starts showing in how you live.

‍

Conclusion

Health ain’t just about what’s on your plate or how many steps you hit—

‍

It’s about aligning your whole life with the One who gave it to you.

‍

Jesus came to give you life, and life more abundantly.

That includes your physical body, your mental peace, and your spiritual fire.

So let me ask you:

‍

Are you treating your health like a burden—or like a blessing? Are you honoring Jesus with your body—or just with your words?

‍

Call to Action (CTA)

Start simple.

Drink more water. Move your body. Rest when needed.

‍

But more than anything—ask Jesus to help you treat your health as part of your walk with Him.

‍

Not for guilt. Not for trends. But for purpose and honor.

‍

What to Hold Onto

Jesus didn’t just die to save your soul—

He rose to give you life in every part of who you are.

‍

Take care of the temple.

Walk in strength.

‍

And know Him more as you live fully for His glory.
