| 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:
Should we pray for anything that isn't God's will? If its not God's will for everyone to be healed, why on earth would we ever want to ask him for healing? Why would the Word tell us to call for the elders and anoint the sick and the prayer of faith would raise up the sick? Why would we be instructed to pray and ask God for something he wants to say no to? Paul said that we should not be ignornant but knowing what the will of the Lrod is. So we best know his will, before we pray shoudln't we? Hope this helps you Brother Rhodes. Mitch |

Bible Answer: The original state of man was one where sickness and death did not exist. God is a God of life, health, wholeness in every way. He is a God of truth, love, mercy, grace, justice, and holiness. When we pray for the health of any person, we are praying the will of God. We are praying that the "Kingdom of Heaven" (The place where everything is as it ought to be) will be a reality in the illness of our loved one. The fact that we die, get sick without being healed, does not mean that God willed that to be. It was never meant to be this way. And in the World to Come it will no longer be this way. I am certainly inadequate in this short reply to give an answer to the BIG question, "Why do bad things happen to good people." But one thing is for certain, it is not the will of God that bad things happen, so praying for good is always praying the will of God. …one reason for God seeming to allow this to happen, is because of the nature of God. We have sinned, first through Adam, and of course personally. The nature of such a state is what we are living in now. I do not subscribe to the idea that God wills bad things to happen, but just the opposite. Jesus the Messiah is the ultimate proof that God’s will is that all things be reconciled to Him as they were meant to be, and soon (hopefully very soon) they will be. MJH |
