The Health Message IS Salvational

“It is as truly a sin to violate the laws of our being as it is to break the Ten Commandments. To do either is to break God's laws. Those who transgress the law of God in their physical organism, will be inclined to violate the law of God spoken from Sinai.” {CD 17.3} 

Heb. 5:9 – And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (health message we are not going to have salvation if we violate health laws. We don’t love Jesus if we violate His laws as it is sinning and Jesus says GO and SIN NO MORE!!!

John 14:15 – If you love me keep my commandments.

“In the judgment we shall see how seriously God regards the violation of the laws of health. Then, as we take a retrospective view of our course of action, we shall see what knowledge of God we might have gained, what noble characters we might have formed, if we had taken the Bible as our counselor.”  {CD 40.1} 

“The controlling power of appetite will prove the ruin of thousands, when, if they had conquered on this point, then they would have had the moral power to gain the victory over every other temptation of Satan. But those who are slaves to appetite will fail in perfecting Christian character.”  HL 74.5

“Neither of you have seen the necessity of health reform, but when the plagues of God shall be all around you, you will then see the principles of health reform and strict temperance in all things,--that temperance alone is the foundation of all the graces that come from God, the foundation of all victories to be gained. . . . “

{Te 201.4} 

There are more than 8 laws of health……there are actually 14.

WHERE IS THE LAW OF DRESS????

“They disregard the principles of health by their habits of eating, drinking, DRESSING, and working. Their transgression of nature's laws produces the sure result; and when sickness comes upon them, many do not credit their suffering to the true cause, but murmur against God because of their afflictions. But God is not responsible for the suffering that follows disregard of natural law.”  {MH 234.2} 

Fashion – “The fashionable style of woman's dress is one of the greatest causes of all these terrible diseases.” --H. R. {HL 64.2}

“More die as the result of following fashion than from all other causes.”  --H. R. {HL 64.3} 

Hygiene – “Our sanitariums are established as institutions where patients and helpers may serve God. We desire to encourage as many as possible to act their part individually in living healthfully. We desire to encourage the sick to discard the use of drugs, and to substitute the simple remedies provided by God, as they are found in water, in pure air, in exercise, and in general hygiene.”  {2SAT 289.3} 

Posture – “Among the first things to be aimed at should be a correct position, both in sitting and in standing. God made man upright, and He desires him to possess not only the physical but the mental and moral benefit, the grace and dignity and self-possession, the courage and self-reliance, which an erect bearing so greatly tends to promote. Let the teacher give instruction on this point by example and by precept. Show what a correct position is, and insist that it shall be maintained.”  {Ed 198.3}

Voice – “Be pure in speech. Cultivate a soft and persuasive, not a harsh and dictatorial, tone of voice. Give the children lessons in voice culture. Train their habits of speech, until NO COARSE OR ROUGH WORDS WILL COME SPONTANEOUSLY FROM THEIR LIPS when any trial comes to them.”  {AH 435.4} 

“Voice culture is a subject that has much to do with the health of students. The youth should be taught how to breathe properly and how to read in such a way that no unnatural strain shall come on the throat and lungs, but that the work shall be shared by the abdominal muscles. Speaking from the throat, letting the sound come from the upper part of the vocal organs, impairs the health of these organs and decreases their efficiency. The abdominal muscles are to do the heaviest part of the labor, the throat being used as a channel. Many have died who might have lived had they been taught how to use the voice correctly. The right use of the abdominal muscles in reading and speaking will prove a remedy for many voice and chest difficulties and the means of prolonging life.”  {AH 435.5}
