NASB | 1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed. |
Bible Question: Healed by his strips, does it mean a physical healing is availiable to christians? Or that sin is healed or removed? Is it all in the same? Hum? |
Bible Answer: I am going to reference the entire chapter of Isaiah 53 along with my personal encounters with the scriptures. When the Lord Jesus was laid on Calvary's Cross every sickness and disease imaginable was laid on Him. Meaning at that point he had aids, sars, cancer, herpes etc.. He bore these diseases. So that when these disease try to attack our bodies we can fight it off with the word of God and if need be medication. CASE AND POINT...My sister was diagnois with lyumphoma in the last stages. Well they had sent her home to die. The Lord Jesus told me that she would not die but live and declare the works of the Lord Psalm 118. It sounded crazy seeing they had only had given her 4 months to live. But I believe what I heard and I began confessing her healing. Every time she called me crying about dying I would tell her what the scriptures said. and it was you will not die but live and declare the works of the Lord. I will make a long story short. My sister lives in Michigan and no one was equipped to help her, she found doctors at UIC in Chicago to take her case and experiment on her. The gave her extra large doses of chemo. Yes her hair fell out and she was very sick. One thing that the doctors found amazing is that she would not loose any weight. Instead her her appetite increase causing her to balloom to over 300lbs. Later we found that her weight aiding in her recovery. God took the foolish things of this world and condound the wise. Anyway my sister's cancer is in remission and has been for 3 years because of His stripes. She is loosing weight now. Her hair is more healthier and prettier than before. All because of Jesus bearing this sickness. So to answer your question a physical and mental healing is available to all christians and non-christians. The Lord doesn't have respect of persons.....But without faith it is impossible to please Him. Faith in His word will make Him move on one's behalf....I hope I helped!! Sin is removed only by asking for forgiveness of one's sin and accepting Chrtist as your personal Savior. Then He can forgive your sins and yes heal your land (mind and body). I hoped I helped |
