The Redemptive Purpose of God
02. The Redemptive Purpose of Healing
Yes, God does save today, and God does heal today. These are properly called “miracles.” But until we see all things submitted to the preeminence of Christ, we will continue to experience sickness and death. This does not reflect poorly on your faith or on God’s Will; it only reflects the fallen world we live in and a lack of love. Creation itself groans and travails in pain along with us, waiting for the final redemption and full healing of our spirit, soul, and body. In the meantime, believe God for your healing as much as you do for your salvation. Resist sickness and death just as you resist the devil. Both your salvation and your healing is a work in progress that will, sooner or later, result in full, total, and complete deliverance from sin, sickness, sorrow, and death when God makes all things new.
