2 CORINTHIANS 5:1

 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 CORINTHIANS 5:1)
The "real you" is not your body. Your body is just a vessel.

Just as someone can change houses where they live, you can, and will someday, leave your body and still exist.

We focus too much on our body. The inner part of us is most important. These bodies we live in are not eternal and one day shall return to the dust simply to food for the worms.

It is not wrong to take care of our bodies, any more than it iswrong to take care of the house or apartment where we live. It is a mistake, however, to spend all our time on our body and neglect our spirit and mind.


 For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. Who a person is on the inside is more important than what their body looks like.

We judge too often on how people look and dress on the outward appearance (body) , instead of focusing on the real person living inside that body that part which is eternal the soul. For God looks at the hearts of men which is the soul of man. For it is that part that God desire to commune with.
