The Connection Between Faith and Health

Why the Spirituality and Health Connection Exists

We are marvelously designed by God. He made us in a way that all our body systems work together in unimaginable and intricate ways. Our soul, spirit, mind and body are all connected and work together perfectly according to His design. Because we are designed by God, when we live according to His principles as outlined in the Bible, our life will be more full and we will likely enjoy a life of peace, joy and hope. This will likely affect our health in positive ways. To learn more, read this explanation or this short blog post.

Spirituality and Health

The link between spirituality and health is synonymous with the relationship between faith and health. I’ve chosen to name this ministry Faith and Health Connection because of the significance of the word faith. It takes an active faith for this “connection” to bear fruit in one’s life and have consequences on one’s health. Additionally, faith is used because of the significance that it plays in the Christian religion.
