An excerpt from "Desiring God.org" entitled, "Glorify God with Your Body" states: "In Christ, we have stumbled upon the Treasure hidden in the field (Matthew 13:44). We now hold the Pearl of Great Price (Matthew 13:45–46). We have tasted the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord (Philippians 3:8). Enjoying this life, as the end, is pathetically small. Enjoying Christ is a worthy, indeed vital, goal, now and forever. This is our life. He is our life.
And that enjoyment of Jesus is sweetened by the modest use and upkeep of these bodies. God didn’t make them to sit around only. He made them to meditate on his words, and then move into the world, toward needs. And movement not only makes us healthier and happier, but facilitates our calling to love — and in so loving, in the name of Jesus, our joy in him deepens and expands."
