God's Word : Our Healthy Diet

God's Word of Love.

God's Word of Love.

The bible is full of scriptures that teach us that God wants us to eat a healthy diet. The most important in my opinion is Genesis 1:29 where God says "Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food." This means to me that as God created the earth and the air, water, plants and animals; he created the best for us. He told us that we should eat fruit, vegetables and that which grows from the ground as our food. Throughout time we have rejected God and his plan for our lives and we as people have decided our way is better than his way. So we choose to eat what we want.

Levitical Diet.

Then God called man in relationship with himself through Abraham and his descendants. As the people were disobedient, they went into captivity and God called Moses to be his instrument of freedom for his chosen people. In that role God spoke directly to Moses (often face to face) and gave Moses laws. These laws were to protect man from himself. The law was not to be taken as a new religion but to guide man in doing the best for himself. For no one can be saved by the law. The law was only to keep order. Unfortunately, many times religious leaders have taken the law and began to serve it, instead of God. In the Levitical Laws on what to eat and what not to eat, most only people have focused on pork. Yes pork is not good for us. Our bodies are not meant to eat pork. God did not intend us to be in slaves to a law, but to be healthy. Christianity, Judism, and Islamic religions, among others, have all denounced eating pork as a religious tenant. Some religious leaders even take it to the point of teaching people will lose their relationship with God for doing so. This is not God's intention. He wanted us to be healthy. He even named a long list of foods not to eat, yet many only focus on pork. In reality if we wanted to follow God's Word as a law we should follow Genesis 1:29 and all be vegetarians.

The Daniel Diet.

Even Daniel followed a vegetarian diet and proved that we would be stronger and healthier by eating fresh fruit and vegetables instead of the finest meats. But to bring it to modern times we need to understand what the New Testament teaches on eating a healthy diet. Peter, Paul, and Jesus all taught that it is not what you ate the made you unclean. This meant our salvation is not based on our diet. In the New Testament we are taught that we can eat whatever we want. But that does not make whatever we eat healthy. Jesus said he did not come to change any part of the law and that he was not contradicting anything that God had given us in the Old Testament. You see God did not change, nor did his word. Man is like grass and flowers that pass away at the end of their season, but the Word of God is eternal and its truth never changes.

Healthy Diet.

As a christian who studies the word I have realized that God made us to be vegetarians. As we are obedient in following God's Word the healthier we will be. Follow God's Word. Eat a healthy Diet. Be obedient to God and he will bless you with health and long life. Try him at his word. Have faith in him and his word. See for yourself.

Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.
