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. |
Subject: How about Deut33:7? |
Bible Note: "Now they had enough faith to be there and wait for the angel to stir the water but they didn't have enough faith to turn to Jesus right after he healed a man in their sight. Sure!" Why would it surprise you that their faith would be in something other than Jesus? "I also did not give an explanation as to why they all weren't healed I simply said all were present and the apparently all weren't healed. God had another plan. God doesn't always heal when we think he should was the point I was making." I apologize for my incorrect observation of your point. But I do believe when faith and the Word join, God's healing wil take place. I think you need to read Matthew 15:22-28 Jesus did refuse but the persistance of the woman made Him change his mind. Also David prayed for his son and God did not heal him. Jesus also did not heal Lazarus but allowed him to die to show God might. God does what glorifies Him the most and serves His purpose while working all things to our good. Interesting points...Jesus had not purchased healing through the atonement when David's child died. Also David's child was conceived in sin and could not be the heir of the promise. The woman of Canaan's child was 'grievously vexed with a demon'. And even if you wanted to view this as healing...Do you honestly believe Jesus 'refused' in the sense of the word you use here? Jesus knew she would persist and no doubt in His wisdom..provoked her to press Him. Jesus said to the disciples 'this sickness is not unto death...but that the Father might be glorified'. However, you have a point here. "The Bible says nothing about the servants faith in the story of the Centurian and Jesus healed the servant. The father of the demonic son said he lacked the faith but asked for it and Jesus healed the son and if the son was demonic he couldn't have had faith for healing so Jesus worked in face of a lack of faith." Read again.. faith received. the Centurion had faith for his servant. The demonic son's dad said "I beieve, help thou my unbelief". This speaks of limited faith. Apparently enough. Jesus said 'go' and he went. Still faith. God bless |
