Subject: who benefits most from prayer? |
Bible Note: Hi Brenda, Thanks for your reply. I agree with the majority of what you said, but I would take issue with and seek further clarification when you state, "However as our faith progresses, we can get to the stage where we are walking in divine health." I don't see scripture as saying this anywhere, unless you're refering to our state in 1 John 3:2. We have to be careful not to say something that scripture doesn't say:-) Also, Jesus didn't die primarily for our physical healing, but for our spiritual healing. The reference in Isaiah 53 refers to "spiritual healing" and has been understood as such historically! In other words, His death atoned for our sin, not our physical infirmities. We who are dead in trespasses and sin according to Eph. 2:1, need life, not just a cure for our sickness. That life is only found in the Person of our Lord, Jesus Christ ( Rom. 5:10).
