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: Should we pray outside of God's will? |
Bible Note: I have to agree with you, I will not sit here and give a detailed reason why bad things happen to good people. I can't answer that for anyone. All I can do, is read scripture, and know what the will of the Lord is. And we can tell from his word, 1 Peter 2:24 being one of them, that we are forgiven of our sins if we confess Jesus Christ and we also have physical healing. As you said, sickness did not exist in the garden. Sickness began when Adam sinned , it was brought to this planet by Satan. Or rather, not soley by him, but by him being a tempter, yet Adam transgressed, and allowed the seperation from God to occur, thus the curse showed up. So the way I like to ask it is this way. If what Satan did in Adam in the garden, meaning if Satan bringing death and sickness to this planet in his scheme he hatched in the garden, and got Eve to fall for it. And then Adam transgressed, if all that was able to bring sickness into this earth. IF a Christian says that Christ dying on the cross did not return us to a place where we have divine healing in our lives right now, then they are inheritly saying that what Satan did in the garden, was more powerful than what God did in Jesus on the cross. Because if through the death of his Son God could not only remove our sin, but remove our sickness as well, then we'd have to say that Satan's plan was much more powerful, because it not only brought sin, but it brought sickness. And let me tell you, as you all should wonderfully know. What God did in Jesus on the Cross, is FAR greater than what satan did in Adam in the garden! God Belss! |
