Saúde
A saúde é uma bênção de Deus. A Bíblia ensina que Deus é nosso curador, que devemos cuidar do corpo como templo do Espírito e que a alegria do Senhor renova nossas forças.
Deus, o nosso curador
O Senhor é quem sara todas as nossas doenças. Ele prometeu abençoar o pão e a água e tirar as enfermidades do meio do seu povo.

Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.
But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
O corpo como templo
Nosso corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. A Bíblia nos encoraja a cuidar da saúde física com disciplina e reverência a Deus.
Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own? For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.

Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil: For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.
A alegria que cura
O coração alegre é bom remédio. A esperança do coração traz alegria, e as palavras agradáveis são como favo de mel — doçura para a alma e saúde para o corpo.
A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh is a tree of life.
Remove anger from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh. For youth and pleasure are vain.
