In contemporary society, this can include both legal medications prescribed for health reasons and illegal substances used for recreational purposes. The Bible does not explicitly mention modern drugs, but it provides principles that can be applied to the use of mind-altering substances.<br><br><b>Biblical Principles</b>:<br><br>1. <b>Sobriety and Self-Control</b>: The Bible emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clear mind and exercising self-control. In <a href="/1_peter/5-8.htm">1 Peter 5:8</a> , believers are instructed to "Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." This call to sobriety suggests that anything impairing one's mental faculties, such as drugs, should be approached with caution.<br><br>2. <b>The Body as a Temple</b>: Scripture teaches that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. In <a href="/1_corinthians/6-19.htm">1 Corinthians 6:19-20</a> , Paul writes, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body." This passage implies that actions harming the body, including drug abuse, are inconsistent with honoring God.<br><br>3. <b>Avoiding Drunkenness</b>: While the Bible specifically addresses drunkenness, the underlying principle can be extended to drug use. <a href="/ephesians/5-18.htm">Ephesians 5:18</a> states, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." The warning against intoxication suggests that Christians should avoid any substance that leads to a loss of control or moral compromise.<br><br>4. <b>Influence and Witness</b>: Believers are called to be a positive influence and a light to the world. <a href="/matthew/5-16.htm">Matthew 5:16</a> encourages, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Engaging in drug use can damage one's witness and hinder the ability to reflect Christ's character.<br><br>5. <b>Dependence on God</b>: The Bible encourages reliance on God rather than substances for comfort or escape. <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6-7</a> advises, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." This passage suggests that believers should seek God's peace rather than turning to drugs for relief.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Considerations</b>: In biblical times, the use of herbs and natural remedies was common for medicinal purposes. However, the recreational use of substances to alter consciousness was often associated with pagan rituals and idolatry, which were condemned in Scripture. The Greek word "pharmakeia," often translated as "sorcery" or "witchcraft," is sometimes linked to the use of potions or drugs in these contexts (<a href="/galatians/5-20.htm">Galatians 5:20</a>).<br><br><b>Pastoral Care and Guidance</b>: The church is called to offer support and guidance to those struggling with drug addiction. <a href="/galatians/6.htm">Galatians 6:1-2</a> instructs, "Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." This passage highlights the importance of community and accountability in overcoming addiction.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b>: While the Bible does not directly address modern drug use, its teachings on sobriety, the sanctity of the body, and reliance on God provide a framework for understanding the issue from a biblical perspective. Believers are encouraged to seek wisdom and discernment in all matters, including the use of drugs, to live lives that honor God.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/1_corinthians/6-19.htm">1 Corinthians 6:19-20</a></span><br>What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_corinthians/6-19.htm">1 Corinthians 6:19</a></span><br>What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_timothy/3-4.htm">2 Timothy 3:4</a></span><br>Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/1_john/2-15.htm">1 John 2:15-17</a></span><br>Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
