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?
