The last several posts have elaborated on the Life Principle, namely that the Life of the Flesh is in the Blood. This principle was divided into there sub-priciples: Blood Quality, Blood Circulation, and Blood Cleansing.
We will now be looking at the overarching principle of Living Under God’s Design, which will include seven principles derived and applied from the Scriptures for maintaining a healthy life force, namely blood.
As we work through this study, we must continually remember that the life of the flesh is in the blood.
These seven principles will likely require many more than seven posts as they are lengthy to discuss, and as with much of the other information on this site, the principles are not difficult to understand (in fact they are quite simple).
Simplicity
Do not let the simplicity of these subjects cause you to turn away without examining the information. It is in the simple things that healing comes. You may want to reread Designer Principle Two: Simplicity Under God’s Design as a reminder. Improved health is in the reach of all who are willing to humble themselves before God and apply His simple protocol for living, which has complex and amazing results on our intricate human bodies.
No doctor or scientist will ever fully understand the human body. Let us trust out maker and designer!
Application
So far on this site we have been mostly dealing with the philosophy of biblical health. Understanding is the foundation of application, but it is not enough. We strongly urge you to apply the principles that you will be taught in these upcoming sections. In many cases, we will give specific applications to follow – but we are also giving you all the knowledge to discover your own unique application of the principles.
Application is the key to good health!
The first principle we will be discussing is cleanliness. And no, we are not talking about washing your hands before you eat (though it would be a proper application). God has announced in his Word cleanliness principles that when obeyed, bring us one step closer to improved health.
And there are applications here that you have probably never considered. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of the title.
