How is it that so many of us strive earnestly to be law abiding citizens living in harmony with the laws of the land but we make lifestyle choices which flagrantly violate the laws which govern physical and mental health ?
While there are some who live in harmony with nature's laws, the vast majority of human beings live in general ignorance of the mental and physical laws which govern their minds and bodies. As most of us know, ignoring laws or breaking laws will have consequences. Laws do not respect opinions nor do they seek for a consensus. They exist and inflict penalties when they are transgressed. And yet, many, believe in a sort of magic health, (not subject to any laws) supposedly under the command of a medical magician who pulls poisonous drugs, medicines and vaccines out of his medicine hat and offers them as a cure for their ailments.
NEITHER HEALTH NOR DISEASE APPEAR MAGICALLY. THEY ARE THE RESULT OF OBEDIENCE OR DISOBEDIENCE TO LAWS.

As we continue to study the 1st angel's message of Revelation 14:6, we learn more of what it means to give glory to God by looking at the example of one who gave glory to God. The leper of Luke 17:15 was the one Jesus identified as the only one to give glory to God when we began to consider the leper in our last post.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS LEPER WHO RETURNED WE LEARN A 2nd LESSON ABOUT GIVING GLORY TO GOD
#2 Health, life, and happiness are the result of obedience to physical laws governing our bodies. If our will and way are in accordance with God's will and way; if we do the pleasure of our Creator, He will keep the human organism in good condition, and restore the moral, mental, and physical powers, in order that He may work through us to His glory. Constantly His restoring power is manifested in our bodies. If we cooperate with Him in this work, health and happiness, peace and usefulness, are the sure results. No one can grow in grace till he purifies his soul by obeying the truth. Obedience to the truth includes obedience to physical law.
And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. Luke 17:14
NOTICE THAT JESUS TOLD THE 10 LEPERS TO GO SHOW THEMSELVES
UNTO THE PRIESTS.
THIS WAS A LAW OF HEALTH FROM LEVITICUS 13 & 14.AS SOON AS THEY WENT IN OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW OF HEALTH THAT WAS DECLARED BY JESUS, THEY WERE CLEANSED.
They were cut off from society, and presented themselves to Jesus as subjects of pity. His heart was stirred with divine compassion, and he said to them, "Go show yourselves unto the priests." When they heard this word, they believed that it meant their restoration, and they hastened to obey. They knew that Jesus understood the law and how their disease had excluded them from society. It was necessary for a cleansed leper to have the testimony of a priest that he was clear of his plague, and to have his permission, in order again to associate freely with his fellow-men. They hastened to obey the word of Jesus; "and it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed." {STJune2518962}
NOTICE AGAIN THAT FAITH IN THE WORDS OF JESUS WAS COMBINED WITH WORKS IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORDSOF JESUS. THUS WE ARE ENABLED TO SEE MORE CLEARLY THE TRUTH OF JAMES CHAPTER 2:14-20
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works ? can faith save him? (James 2:14)
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, (James 2:15)
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? (James 2:16)
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (James 2:17)
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. (James 2:18)
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19)
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead ? (James 2:20)
TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD MEANS DEMONSTRATING OUR FAITH IN GOD BY WORKS OF OBEDIENCE TO GOD AIDED BY THE GRACE OF GOD GIVING GLORY TO GOD MEANS OBEDIENCE TO THE WORDS OF CHRIST INCLUDING HIS WORDS ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES OF HEALTHFUL LIVING
Listen to our heavenly Father's desire for you and for me and His promise to you and to me...Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 John 1:2)
If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. (Exodus 15:26)
