“For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones” (Ephesians 5:29-30, NKJV).

You’re in Christ’s body. You are His flesh and bones. Do you ever hear anyone talk about divine health? Here are verses for it. We are His body; we are His flesh, His bones. You’re in Christ’s body. Think about it: you have His immune system. And what about it? He nourishes it. People are healed of diseases just by eating well. People change their diet and they’re healed of autoimmune diseases, cancer, just by changing their eating. He nourishes His body. We have His perfect food.

Now, this isn’t, of course, just about health. That’s just one little part of salvation. Healing is something He offers. But what does He nourish us with? He feeds us his Word, His life. We do not live by bread alone but on every word from God. He nourishes us by teaching us His Word, by revealing His Word to us, by revealing Himself to us in His Word. We consume His Word each day to give us life. It renews us, renews our body, mind, soul, spirit. We get renewed by reading His Word with our drink of water, our living water, that’s also renewing us day by day. And with the water, with the Word, we’re nourished to life. We are part of Christ’s body.
