As important as physical health is, much more important is being sure of where you will go at the end of this life; and as long as we're talking about giving new life to the physical body, this would be a good time to talk about how your spirit can have a new life too. Like it or not, we are all imperfect and we are all lost without someone above and beyond ourselves to guide us. That someone is God. If you invite Him to, he will come into your heart and renew and rejuvenate you; in fact, He will make you into a whole new person! And even more than that, if you ask Him to, He will forgive every sin, every wrong thing you've ever done, give you a surpassing peace like you have never known before, and enable you to live forever with Him in heaven.

        Some people think that "religion" is all about going to church, living a morally perfect life (an impossibility, by the way), and performing various rites and rituals. This simply is not so! Not that those things are bad or unimportant, but they're not what really matters in the end. What it's all about is that God loved you (yes, YOU) so much that He sent His only Son to take your place and be punished for your sin -- He paid a debt for you that you weren’t able to pay yourself. Because of what He did, you have the opportunity to have eternal life as His free gift. Not only will you live forever in heaven after you die here, but your life in this world will be better, funner, more fulfilling, and more purposeful than you could ever imagine. Difficulties don't disappear, but they do become much more bearable. His love will not only help you to be more than you are now, it will transform you into something more and better than you ever planned or wanted or thought was possible. You’ll never know what wonders could be a part of your life until you choose to accept the many blessings that God wants to give to you. Studies even confirm that people who put their faith and trust in God tend to live several years longer on average, have fewer health problems, and recover faster from sickness and surgery with fewer complications (as if you needed another reason). This dramatically shows how the spirit, mind, and body are indeed all connected, not separate entities, but rather different parts of the same entity (person) and helping one also helps the others.

        If you would like to have God give you a new and better life now and eternal life hereafter, all you have to do is ask Him. Everything has already been arranged, the debt has been paid, and He is just waiting for you to give the word. Just say out loud to Him, "Dear God, I know that I have sinned and need forgiveness and I want to accept your free gift of eternal life. I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die in my place so I wouldn't have to pay the penalty for my sins myself; and I believe that You brought Him back to life so death could be conquered and I could live forever with You. Please come into my heart, save my soul, and change my life. I ask these things in the precious name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen."
