The Torah contains 248 mitzvot aseh ("positive commandments"). The Zohar, a mystical commentary on the Torah, indicates that these correspond to the 248 parts of the human body. One cannot perform positive commandments without one's body, and in turn, one sanctifies his physical being through the performance of the Torah's commandments.
