Paragraph

Salvation

Jesus' ability to efficaciously heal in the flesh proved His equal ability to assuredly grant salvation in the spirit, thus showing the profound relationship between Jesus' healings and salvation.

60

Salvation

One's ultimate reward is neither determined nor affected by whether he was or was not healed during his physical lifetime.

88

Sin

Rather than healing being the forgiveness of sin, Jesus used His power to heal in order to prove that He also had the power to forgive sin.

62

Sin

The miracle of healing physically represented a restorative process in which something unclean and broken was supernaturally made clean and whole.

62

Sin/degeneration

Mankind has so polluted the environment and human beings so often ignore the basic rudiments of health that imbalances occur, with sickness and disease the natural result.

37

Sin/degeneration

To the degree that a person disregards the obvious physical principles of health, such as proper nutrition, adequate sleep and rest, a positive mental outlook, etc., is generally the degree to which one suffers ill health.

38

Sin/degeneration

Sickness is the general result of violating the principles of health, or perhaps the direct result of a person's own sin (Matthew. 9:1-7; June 5:14). At other times, sin is not involved; and the illness or infirmity is inherited (John 9:2) or the result of injury or accident (Luke 13:1-5).

43

Sin/degeneration

Whenever sin is involved, healing includes the forgiveness of that sin (Matthew 9:1-7).

44

Sin/degeneration

Not all illness is the result of sin.

46

Sin/degeneration

The Bible nowhere speaks of "physical sin."

48

Sin/degeneration

The biblical subject of sin comes under ethical, moral or mental categories-and are all, therefore, spiritual in nature.

48

Sin/degeneration

It is not always possible, of course, to discern when illness or injury is the result of sin.

49

Sin/degeneration

To be sick, therefore, is not necessarily to have sinned. Sickness is sometimes the result of sin and healing sometimes includes the forgiveness of sin.

50

Sin/degeneration

His healing demonstrated to the world was His power to forgive sin, and, ultimately, to resurrect the body from the dead.

60

Source of Healing

Healing is a miracle of God.

Wrong Attitude

Some people's requests for anointing border on superstition. To anoint for every sniffle or mild ache makes a mockery of divine healing and Christ's suffering.

112

Wrong Attitude

It is both offensive and inaccurate to say that one who is not supernaturally healed (or who seeks medical aid) is a "Weak" Christian.

115

Wrong Attitude

To ask God to supernaturally do for us what we can naturally do for ourselves may begin to undermine the vital representational analogy between healing and the forgiveness of sin, conversion and the resurrection from the dead (since no human being can ever do any part of the latter).
