“That He might present her to Himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing..." – Ephesians 5:27a
The Health and Well-being of Believers are secured and sustained by the HOLY and HEALTHY CHURCH: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish” (Eph.5:25-27).
Health is not cheap. It is also not always self-evident. Physical and mental health cost time, attention, and money in both preventive and curative terms. People may not have physical complaints and yet they may be unhealthy. Therefore, we must be proactive with regard to our health. If being proactive is important for physical health, the same is true for spiritual health and the health of the church. In particular, the health of the Church leader will contribute to the health of the Church.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Owner and Builder of His Church. He said to Peter: “on this rock I will build MY CHURCH, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (Mt.16:18b). However, the Lord is building His Church using imperfect human co-builders, hence possibility of defects, deficiencies, imperfections or inadequacies. As the Head, the Lord is concerned about the state – health, well-being and growth – of His Church. Just like our routine physicals, regular evaluations are critical for long term church health, such that strategic steps can be developed to improve the health profile.
