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.
25 But ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take [all] sickness away from the midst of thee.
3 He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons; freely ye have received, freely give.
12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, Those that are whole need not a physician, but those that are sick.
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.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.:
8 For bodily exercise profits [a] little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
2 Beloved, I wish that thou be prospered in all things and be sound, even as thy soul prospers.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.8 It shall be medicine to thy navel and marrow 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.
22 A joyful heart shall do good [like] a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
24 Pleasant words [are as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and medicine to the bones.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but [when] the desire [is] fulfilled, [it is] a tree of life.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth [are] vanity.:
