Paragraph

Wrong Attitude

123

Wrong Attitude

It would be wrong to seek obscure second-class treatment when competent first-class health care is readily available.

Wrong Attitude

Far worse than any personal spiritual slips or lapses in faith is the commonplace gossip of judging fellow members of the congregation.

Summary

-God can and does heal in ways and manners and at times and for reasons that He determines for Himself.

-Divine healing is totally beyond the scope of medical science

-Seeing the most competent, professional assistance in times of illness or injury will not inhibit God from healing us.

-Healing is a special blessing from God given according to His mercy and our faith.

-His healing represents God's power through Jesus Christ to forgive our sins, cleanse our minds and, ultimately, establish the Kingdom of God on earth and resurrect our bodies from the dead.
