Overview
Scripture celebrates the intricate design of our physical bodies as a testament to God's wisdom and care. Our bodies are not insignificant; they are fearfully and wonderfully made, with each system functioning as part of a coordinated whole. As believers, we recognize that our physical frames are temporary vessels designed to house our spirits and enable us to serve God and others.
