Health Message (August 16, 2025)

Good Sabbath Church Family,

This week I wanted to leave you thoughts from Ellen White on the wisdom God shared about our Health Message.

Ellen G. White's health vision (recorded 1864/1865). Set in the context of Eden, the Fall, and the contributions of humans to disease and suffering observed as a result of ignorance or disregard for the principles of health.

She later indicated that it was the duty of Christians to understand those principles so that mind and body are in the best condition to enable believers to bring glory to God.

This is essentially an acknowledgment that Christ designed and then purchased our bodies as His property, hence frustrating the claims of Satan to ownership. Once understood, the principles of health are ours to follow as precious light.

Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." - Matthew 22:37

We as Christians, might seriously consider Ellen's urging to understand and follow the principles of health. In today's world, these can be derived from the biblical and scientific information available. Adhering to the best advice will give vibrant health, clear thinking, and an ability to understand the great truths revealed in Scripture.

Following the principles of physical health prepares practitioners to recognize the great principles relating to social, mental, and spiritual health revealed in the Bible. This constitutes the urgent call given in Revelation 14--

God wishes hearers to come out of the confusion and self-indulgence practiced in the present world. He wishes those who are honest seekers for truth to enjoy the benefit of these principles now and to prepare for the hereafter. The cry is, "Prepare to meet your God" (Amos 4:12, NKJV).

May God Bless your Journey to Good Health,

Your sister in Christ,
