Unhealthy Lifestyle

When Paul writes to Timothy and Titus, he uses words like healthy or wholesome to describe the life Jesus wants us to have. Some translations use the word sound as in the ancient Greek phrase, “a sound mind in a sound body.” Paul will tell us what will make us spiritually healthy, but first he focuses on those debilitating practices that prohibit spiritual wholeness.

“Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water,” (Hebrews 10:19-22, NASB).
