Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists

The church becomes not the body of Christ, within
which there is mutual love and care, but a
collection of atomistic individuals, each of whom
goes his or her own way without taking any
responsibility for one's fellows or accepting any
concern for them."[1]
While our behavior and our spirituality are
closely related, we can never earn salvation by
correct behavior. Rather, Christian behavior is a
natural fruit of salvation and is grounded in what
Christ has already accomplished for us at Calvary.
Temples of the Holy Spirit
Not only the church but the individual Christian
is a temple for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit:
"Do you not know that your body is the temple of
the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from
God, and you are not your own?" (1 Cor. 6:19).
Christians, then, practice good health habits to
protect the command center of their body temples,
the mind, the dwelling place of the Spirit of Christ.
