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 So shall ye serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless thy bread and thy water,and I will take away sickness out of thy midst.
3 He is healing the broken in heart,and binding up their hurts.
8 Be curing, the sick, raising, the dead,cleansing, lepers, casting out, demons: freely, ye have, received, freely, give.
12 And, he, hearing it, said,No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who 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 Or know ye not that, your body, is, a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own;20 For ye have been bought with a price! Therefore glorify God in your body.
8 For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable,having, promise, of lifethe present and the coming.
2 Beloved! concerning all things, I pray thou mayest be prospering, and be in health, even as, thy soul, is prospering,
7 Do not become wise in thine own eyes, revere Yahweh, and avoid evil:8 Healing, shall it be to thy body, and refreshing, 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, worketh an excellent cure,but, a stricken spirit, drieth up the bone.
24 A comb of honey, are pleasant words, sweet to the taste and healing to the bone.
12 Hope deferred, sickeneth the heart,but, a tree of life, is desire fulfilled.
10 Therefore remove thou vexation from thy heart, and put away discomfort from thy flesh,for, youth and dawn, are vanity!
