    Quotes about why we should treat our bodies like temples:


    #1--
    The primary blessing that comes from obedience to the Word of Wisdom is spiritual in
    nature, not necessarily physical. Certainly, we all recognize the physical benefits of adhering
    to the lifestyles and dietary guidelines contained in the Word of Wisdom. But please notice how
    {it is} emphasized that the link between what we take into our bodies and our ability to receive
    spiritual communication. And secondarily the Word of Wisdom also produces physical benefits.
    Just as only worthy persons are permitted to enter into the house of the Lord, so we should
    likewise be careful to take into our bodies only those things that will positively affect us both
    spiritually and physically.
    Elder David A. Bednar

    Satan learned these same eternal truths about the body, and yet his punishment is that he does not have one. Therefore he tries to do
    everything he can to get us to abuse or misuse this precious gift. He has filled the world with lies and deceptions about the body. He tempts many
    to defile this great gift of the body through unchastity, immodesty, self-indulgence, and addictions. He seduces some to despise their bodies; others he
    tempts to worship their bodies. In either case, he entices the world to regard the body merely as an object. In the face of so many satanic falsehoods
    about the body, I want to raise my voice today in support of the sanctity of the body. I testify that the body is a gift to be treated with
    gratitude
    and respect.

    When we become other-oriented, or selfless, we develop an inner beauty of spirit that glows in our outward appearance. This is
    how we make ourselves in the Lords image rather than the worlds and receive His image in our countenances. President Hinckley spoke
    of this very kind of beauty that comes as we learn to respect body, mind, and spirit. He said:
    Of all the creations of the Almighty, there is none more beautiful, none more inspiring than a lovely daughter of God who walks in
    virtue with an understanding of why she should do so, who honors and respects her body as a thing sacred and divine, who
    cultivates her mind and constantly enlarges the horizon of her understanding, who nurtures her spirit with everlasting truth
    (Understanding Our Divine Nature,
    Liahona,
    Feb. 2002, 24; Our Responsibility to Our Young Women,
    Ensign,
    Sept. 1988, 11).
