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 I will bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
3 He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.
12 But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those 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 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;20 you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment 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 a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
10 Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
