We were created to be a dwelling place of the likeness of God on earth, man in His image. Unwillingness to submit to God's order, disobedience, stripped us naked and wounded us, bringing self-engendered diseases in its wake. Fear overtook us and broods over our existence.
Healing the body and mind seeks to restore this dwelling place, becoming a meeting place for God and man, until we gain the perfect one, fully complete. We yearn for this completeness and seek a 'heaven-made house' but our earthly bodies have boundaries set by our man-madeness, hedged in by our falleness and mortality.
A perfect, immortal body is one of the fruits of the Messiah's obedience unto death; the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the promise that it will be ours too, when the sons of God are made manifest.
Romans 8.
