Oh, to be FREE of sin!
1 John 1:9
King James Version
9 If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
What does it take to be truly healthy?
Depends what you're referring to.
Healthy in mind?
In body?
In spirit?
All of the above?
All those are possible, with GOD.
If it serves God's purpose, we will be healthy.
If we're not healthy, it also serves God's purpose.
Only God KNOWS His own purposes.
Only by being born again, can we begin to understand the ways of God.
When we're born again, we always pray to JESUS to know GOD's will.
And we will surely receive an answer.
The HOLY SPIRIT will teach us obedience to God.
Through Spirit, we can understand that the state of our body, hinges upon the state of our spirit.
Scripture testifies of that.
John 5:1-9
King James Version
5 After this there was a feast of the Jews;
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool,
which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda,
having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk,
of blind,
halt,
withered,
waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and troubled the water:
whosoever then first
after the troubling of the water stepped in
was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there,
which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie,
and knew that he had been now a long time in that case,
he saith unto him,
Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him,
Sir,
I have no man,
when the water is troubled,
to put me into the pool:
but while I am coming,
another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him,
Rise,
take up thy bed,
and walk.
9 And immediately
the man was made whole,
and took up his bed,
and walked:
and on the same day was the sabbath.
After being healed, Jesus encounters this man again.
The LORD reminded him.
John 5:14
King James Version
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple,
and said unto him,
Behold,
thou art made whole:
sin no more,
lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Now healed, from sin and sickness, the man announced who healed him.
John 5:15
King James Version
15 The man departed,
and told the Jews that it was Jesus,
which had made him whole.
Like I said in the previous post, the Lord knows what ails us.
He knows the connection between sin, and sickness.
Mark 2:17
King James Version
17 When Jesus heard it,
he saith unto them,
They that are whole
have no need of the physician,
but they that are sick:
I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
It's important we know about sin, and REPENT.
By the GRACE of GOD, we will all be healthy, and live a GOD-filled life!
