Day 114. What does Holy Scripture tell you about your body? (2025)

Today is day 114 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the seventeenth line: “The Resurrection of the Body”.

114. What does Holy Scripture tell you about your body?

Holy Scripture tells me that my body, though tainted by sin, was created good, bearing the image of God and endowed with great dignity. Therefore, from the moment of conception to natural death, every human body and every human life should be cared for, protected, and loved. (Genesis 1:26–28; Psalm 139:7–18; Matthew 11:2–5; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; James 3:8–10)

We will conclude today with The Collect for The Second Sunday in Lent found on page 605 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
