30 Bible Verses About Health

Introduction

Health is very important for our living. A person without it can’t do anything. To survive, work and doing everything required good fitness.

So basically what is health? It is like a power and strength which is required for survival not only physically but mentally and spirituality.

Matthew 4:23

Types of Health

Here I am going to discuss some types of it as it doesn’t only means a person is physically fit but health is also related with emotions, mind and spirituality.

There are three types:

• Physical Health
• Mental health 
• Spiritual Health

3 John 1:2

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.

Proverbs 17:22

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 3:7-8 

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Physical Health

Physical fitness is very important as we have to do work and if we become ill then we can’t do anything. 

Let’s look at you, think about a phase when you were ill. Are you able to do worship, do house chores and other works? Definitely, it was very difficult to handle the situation. We can’t even move from bed if we are ill. 

Similarly if we face any accident and our legs and arms become useless then our life will return very dark without any hope. As, without hands and feet we can’t move from one place to another and will become dependent on others.

So, it becomes clear that physical fitness has a lot of importance.

Exodus 15:26

He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

Exodus 23:25

Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,

Proverbs 16:24

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Mental Health

On the other hand if our mental health is disturbed then it affects our life too. It is very important. If we are caught in mental sickness then we become depressed and this depression will destroy us.

Jeremiah 33:6 

“‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

Exodus 15:26 

He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

Exodus 23:25 

Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,

Spiritual Health

Spiritual Health is that type of fitness in which we are spirituality fit and live according to God’s will. Do you know what spiritual sickness is? If we start to live life according to our desires and neglect God’s orders then we’ll become sick. A person’s spiritual well being is connected with God. So to live Spiritually healthy it is important that we start to live according to God’s will.

1 Timothy 4:8 

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.

1 Peter 2:24 

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

Proverbs 12:25 

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.

Getting Health by God

We come to know about types of it and its importance. Now we will discuss how we can get this health. So firstly Health is a God’s gift. He provided us with it without any fees. 

But somehow if we ruin our health then how can we regain it? To get healthy again we should pray to God with full faith. Our faith and trust in God will heal us and grant us eternal peace and health. 

So, if we face any kind of distress, sickness and pain (it may be physical, mental and spiritual) we should always pray from God because only God has the power to heal us and to provide health.

Moses, Abraham, David, Aaron, Solomon and many other biblical personalities also highlight about getting healthiness by God.

1 Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Jeremiah 30:17

But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’

Proverbs 3:8

This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Promises of God Regarding Health

If we read the Bible then we come to know that God has made promises with us that he is a source of human health so he will definitely provide health to us. 

God has said in the biblical verses that he will surely provide health to people. Those who are ill (Physically, Mentally and Spiritually) will get health through God. 

If we are physically ill we go to the doctor and take medicine. I’m I right? But doctors’ medicine is not always effective because getting help from God is a must.

Similarly for mental and spiritual health we should repent from our sins. If we accept our faults and beg God’s mercy then he will heal us and grant us peace.

Psalm 103:2-3

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

Isaiah 53:5

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Deuteronomy 7:15 

The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.

A Source of Others’ Health

Do you know we have the ability to heal others and provide them health? God has made a human very powerful. He provides health to people and these people can also provide health to others. 

I know a question is arising in your mind about how we can provide health to others. The answer is that human’s words and acts had a great effect on others’ hearts and minds. If a person knows God’s order and teachings then he will surely serve others with humbleness and politeness. Polite tone brings comfort and peace to others’ hearts. 

Similarly if a person shows humbleness and serves others who are in distress with graceful acts. Their little gratitude provides health to others who are in trouble.

Thus we learn that a healthy person can heal others and he can become healthy just by trusting and believing in God.

Psalm 32:3-4

When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

Isaiah 58:11

The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Romans 12:2 

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
