The lordship of Christ over the whole of life means that there are no platonic areas in Christianity, no dichotomy or hierarchy between the body and the soul. God made the body as well as the soul and redemption is for the whole man. Evangelicals have been legitimately criticized for often being so tremendously interested in seeing souls get saved and go to heaven that they have not cared much about the whole man. The Bible, however, makes four things very clear:(1) God made the whole man, (2) in Christ the whole man is redeemed, (3) Christ is Lord of the whole man now and the Lord of the whole Christian life, (4) in the future as Christ comes back, the body will be raised from the dead and the whole man will have a whole redemption . Francis Schaeffer Art and the Bible pgs 14-15
