Your body, whatever its natural gifts, is a magnificent creation of God.
“For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 15 “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? It is His temple as well as yours and must be treated with reverence. Your physical body is a magnificent creation of God. “The spirit and the body are the soul of man.” 14 Both are of great importance.

God, the Father of our spirits, 1 has a glorified, perfected body of flesh and bones. That great blessing would not be possible without our first receiving a physical body in this probationary estate. He wants us eventually to become more like Him and return to live with Him. Our bodies allow each of us to experience the great plan of salvation that He has designed for all His precious children.
