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: did Jesus die for our sins or sickness |
Bible Answer: In 1 Peter 2:24 the Word is talking about being healed physically. So yes, Just as Isaiah prophesied when he said Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isa 53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Thats a pretty sure statement that Jesus died for our healing as well as for sin. Lets look at : Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. In the Greek the word saved is sozo which can be translated delivered, healed (physical healing) , save from disease, preserve So yes, Jesus died and took our sin, which sin, is what brought the curse upon the whole Earth. And the curse, contains sickness. Let no one tell you that God sends sickness upon his children. I wouldn't let anyone say that about my natural father, neither would you I'm sure. So don't allow others to tell you that about your heavenly father either. Hope this has helped you! Mitch |
