Biblical Foundation for the Body
- Humans are created as embodied beings in God's image, meaning our bodies matter deeply.
- Scripture never separates body and soul; both glorify God together in our physical existence.
Pre-Fall Body Image Reality
- Before the Fall, Adam and Eve lived in perfect harmony with God, themselves, and each other.
- They were naked and unashamed, free from struggles like distorted body image.
The Fall's Impact on Body Image
- The Fall caused self-awareness that leads to shame and distorted self-view, disrupting our relationship with God and ourselves.
- This breaking affects how we see and relate to our bodies today.
