Our bodies are the temple of God where the Holy Spirit dwells. As we build health and its attendant positive attitudes, this process influences both our quality of life and worldview. Therefore, God's image becomes strengthened in us.
Physical education in Adventist schools focuses on the restoration of God's image in mankind through emphasizing a group of health-related concepts. Physical health under girds all that we attempt in life. Consequently through an alert and balanced perspective we are better equipped to realize our life potential in a Christian context.
"Show them how to live so that they may make the body a fitting "temple of the living God'!"
—Health Reformer, January 1, 1873
