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 You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.
3 He heals the broken in heart,and binds up their wounds.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
12 When he heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
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 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,20 for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes.Fear the Lord, and depart from evil.8 It will be health to your body,and nourishment to your 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 cheerful heart makes good medicine,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,and put away evil from your flesh;for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
