7 Spiritual Principles for Christian Weight Loss

Posted by Fit For Jesus! on September 26, 2009

Here are some spiritual principles to think about, pray about, and contemplate for successful Christian weight loss!

  1. Realize your value.  Read Psalm 139:13-16 and truly discover in your heart how much God thinks about you, loves you, and cares for you.

  2. Realize God’s sacrifice.  Read John 3:16 again.  And then read it again.  He did that for YOU.  He loves YOU!

  3. Love yourself.  “Love your neighbor as yourself” originated from God, was repeated often by Jesus, and reinforced by Paul.

    Think about it:  it not only means that we are supposed to love others, but that we are supposed to ALREADY love ourselves!  GOD said so!

  4. Forgive yourself:  others have messed up before you.  Moses murdered.  David committed adultery and sent a husband to his death.  Matthew was a thieving tax collector.  Paul persecuted and killed.  Thomas doubted.  Peter denied Jesus in His very presence.

    Last I checked, they all turned out ok.  You can, too, if you’ll just ask for God’s forgiveness and realize that He has forgotten about it, already.

  5. Move on.  Eating yourself to death because of the past is not forgiveness (either of yourself or others), and it is a horrible, ungodly coping mechanism.

  6. Forgive others.  Bitterness is stressful.  Chronic stress increases cortisol.  Cortisol leads specifically to increased abdominal fat and inflammation.  Abdominal fat and inflammation lead to heart attacks that kill prematurely.

  7. Seek Him first.  Face it.  Life will be a struggle.  Stop seeking the world and seek Him, first.  “His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.”

It is a lot easier, and it becomes automatic to take care of your body (the temple of the Holy Spirit!) when you realize that you are valuable, God loves you, you are forgiven, you can forgive others, you can forgive yourself, you can move on, and you can love yourself as God commanded!
