1 Corinthians 6:19-20
(RSV)
"Do you not know
that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you
have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price.
So glorify God in your body."
By taking care of our bodies we are
honoring and obeying God. Our choice of diet is an important one
since it affects God's animals, our health and the environment.
We are God's temple! Our Creator
lives in us and what we do in our bodies is part of our worship to
Him/Her. We are called to not only abstain from impurity, but we are
called to glorify God in our bodies. Adopting a balanced plant-based
diet honors God by showing compassion and mercy to God's animals and
helping us stay healthier.
