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 And you shall serve Jehovah your God, and He 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, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
12 But when Jesus heard it, He said to them, 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 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?20 For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods.
8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.8 It shall be healing to your navel 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 merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
12 Hope postponed makes the heart sick, but when desire comes to pass it is a tree of life.
10 Therefore remove vexation from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for childhood and black hair of youth are vanity.
