Are GLP-1s Cheating?

My client was asking me the other day…

“Isn’t it a sin to go the easy route and take GLP-1s?”

I believe we’re asking the wrong question.

The Bible doesn’t say that taking GLP-1s is a sin.

And when the Bible doesn’t give us a specific answer to our 21st century questions, we have freedom and responsibility to choose the most God-honoring thing.

🤔 So how do we choose the right thing?

Let’s look at certain aspects of God’s moral will that are described in scripture…

We must steward our bodies well.

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”

(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

Physical discipline contributes to becoming like Christ.

“…Bodily training is of some value, and godliness is of value in every way…”

(1 Timothy 4:8)

We must be self-controlled and emotionally stable.

“The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.”

(1 Peter 4:7)

❌ So, don’t ask…

“Is taking a GLP-1 a sin?”

✅ Instead, ask…

“What is the wisest way to steward my body better for God’s glory and serving His people?”

Whether you take a drug, or pull up your bootstraps…

🔥 God has called us to master our bodies.

We must learn how to take care of it.

Know what it takes to operate efficiently and effectively.

Lifting weights for longevity and physical ability.

Good nutrition for mental clarity and healthy organs.

Quality rest for proper recovery and recharging.

👍 If GLP-1s help you do that best, then great.

👍 If working out and meal prepping helps you do that best, then great.
