Pathways to WHoly Living for Individuals
Abundant Life: The Call to Wholeness
“I came that they may have it abundantly.”
John 10:10
"In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us that he came to bring us abundant life – and health, in all its dimensions, is at the very center of living abundantly.
The body is an essentially good and natural creation with a soul. Body and soul are meant to work in harmony and are able to influence one another. As the souls opens more and more to the salvific action of God, the body benefits - God’s love embraces and heals, in various ways, the physical being.
We share a God given stewardship responsibility for the health of our own body and soul and, by extension, the health of others."
-Bishop Mike Watson
John Wesley wrote this in a letter to John Knox: “It will be a double blessing if you give yourself up to the Great Physician, that He may heal soul and body together. And unquestionably this is His design. He wants to give you both inward and outward health.”
Letter to Alexander Knox (26 October 1778),
Letters (Telford) 6:327
