8 Laws of Health: Jesus Christ Provision for Humanity (Nutrition and Diet)






Sid Charles ∙ February 1, 2018

What if I told you that Jesus Christ cares for you abundantly, even in the consumption of food and the products we put in our body? The bible provides the answer so vividly;  3 John 1:2 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 highlights the correlation between the soul prospering and being in good health, not to mention, the body is indeed God’s temple. We aren’t only defiling the temple by the marks and cuts (Leviticus 19:28) we inflict on ourselves, we do the same damage by the way we eat. The type of food you consume will affect your general health; many are lying on hospital beds as a result of improper diet. Incorporating uncomplicated changes like green vegetables and fruits into your diet will go a long way in combating anyone’s aches and pains.

Similarly, a converted Christian should be recognizably different in all fashion to that of the world, in character (Galatians 5:22-26), in love (John 13:34-35), and the treatment of others (Ephesians 4:32). In the light of one-man’s transgression of God’s Law (Romans 5:12), sin entered the world, unintended consequences resulted from it, the effects of the Fall are various and extensive. Unfortunately, infirmities are one of them.

It is of utmost importance to treat our body in a manner Jesus Christ intended. Christ’s original diet for men consisted of nuts, grains, vegetables and fruits (Genesis 1:29). The consumption of these wonderful foods have been linked to the reversal of today’s common diseases and sicknesses.


Evidently, the world is taking notice. The rise of Veganism has been at an all-time high. Many scientific studies are making interesting and significant information known, information that the Bible teaches, but Christians often fail to educate the world. In the Bible, Daniel and the three Hebrews boys, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah are offered the king’s meat, however, Daniel was careful about God’s interdiction of “unclean foods” (Daniel 1:8). Under those circumstances, Daniel opted for the unfashionable diet of vegetables. Following ten days, Daniel and his friends became more advantageous and more grounded than the Babylonians. For this reason and many others, the connection between our diet and health are very much apparent.

After all, when God created Adam and Eve, He put them in the Garden of Eden not only tend to it, He intended for the first couple to utilize the garden as the source for all their nourishment; such diet likewise exhibited their reliance upon God. They were created to be perfect. How fascinating it sounds when we think and ponder on the thought that these perfect beings were originally meant to consume nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits! Now like the hymn says, “ponder anew what the almighty can do” … in our fallen nature, how beneficial would it be to integrate this diet into our lives?

Having the Faith of Jesus Photo Credit: www.pexels.com By: Samantha Charles  · July 2, 2020  · 3 min read The world is in the midst of a crisis, a global pandemic called COVID-19. As a Christian, I have always been grateful for the faith I have in Christ. I often wonder how individuals can maneuver daily life in this crazy world without Christ. See, I was raised in a Christian family, and though I have strayed in the past, I never stopped believing in God. I always knew that God was sufficient, but that knowledge was challenged by COVID -19. As a Registered Nurse, I was rocketed to the "front line" in the fight against this disease. This pandemic is wreaking havoc on our communities and families. It has taken many lives, and as hard as it is to think about, many of these individuals have gone down in Christ-less graves. We know so little about this virus, it seemed like they were constantly diagnosing or inventing new symptoms and suggested treatments. At the beginning of eac

Worldwide, not just among non-believers but in God’s believers. The church is confronted with a health crisis and a crisis of faith. Whenever there is a state of emergency, people will do things they will not usually do to save themselves. A person who would not regularly wash their hands throughout the day, is now washing their hands every moment and chance they get. People who usually do not watch the news, are glued to the T.V and watching for notifications on their phones for updates. People who could care less , care more because they want to live. A man will do, whatever you tell him to do, even if he has never done it, to save his life. “For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cheri

Heaven on Earth

What Is Heaven?   By: Stephania Nerestant Most people have thought of a place of peace, a place of rest, a place beautiful and sublime; Utopia. And very often we separate Heaven from Earth. We see Heaven as the place of God's dwelling and Earth as our dwelling place, two different places. However, we encounter these two very different places in The Garden of Eden. The garden was certainly a beautiful place, but I believe the beauty of the garden rested upon the fact that God would come there to communicate with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:8). We can confidently conclude, that heaven is wherever God dwells. God is omnipresent, that is, He can be in multiple places at once (Psalm 139:7-8, Jeremiah 23:23-24). Imagine yourself in a beautiful place where God does not reign, it would not be long until chaos ensued.   "....heaven is wherever God dwells" In Heaven, there is justice and judgement. Heaven thus reflects the goodness of God.
