How do we know the importance of the body in Christian theology?

Answered in 1 source

Christian theology values the body as part of God's creation, integral to our identity and purpose according to Genesis 1:26-27.

The Bible teaches that humans are made in the image of God, as stated in Genesis 1:26-27, which gives inherent dignity and value to the body. The body is not merely a vessel but is crucial for expressing our humanity and fulfilling God's purposes. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul reminds believers that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, implying that what we do with our bodies matters deeply to God, and thus it has theological significance in how we live for Christ.
