Bible Question:
Whose prayer offered in faith is it, elders or the one sick? -What happens if one lacks faith? What is the relationship between sins and sickness? |
Bible Answer: The prayers offered in faith of both the elders and the of the sick will restore the one who is sick to health. It is so important to pray, and one should never underestimate the power of prayer. We do not know the answer to this question "What happens if one lacks faith?".. The relationship between sins and sickness could be of both natural causes and spiritual causes. The Bible even gives certain examples of where pestilence broke out because of sin.. However, we cannot honestly say with any integrity that all sickness is a result of sin. --Nolan |
