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 Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, "drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the 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 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.8 This will bring 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 is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.
