Bodily Healing and the Atonement

Synopsis

Dr. T. J. McCrossan, the author and Greek scholar, expounding the Word of God, states, "Reader, one of the outstanding reasons why so many of God's people are not healed is because they do not fully understand the attitude of God toward sickness. So many people waver in their faith because they have heard, expounded from the pulpit, that it is God's will for them to be sick. With such false teaching so prevalent today, no wonder the majority of saints know little or nothing regarding divine healing. Yes, the very same faith which saves the soul heals the body, and this faith is a gift of God, whether for the saving of souls or for the healing of bodies. no one can possibly pray a prayer of faith to heal a sick person unless he knows for a certainty that it is God's will to heal the one being prayed for. When we inject the proviso "if it be thy will," it is always an acknowledgment that we are not praying the prayer of faith, but that we have a doubt in our own heart and this doubt, either in the ones praying for the sick person or the one who is sick prevents the sick from receiving the healing. Many splendid Christians are not healed by prayer, because they cannot pray the prayer of expectant faith. There is a proper time and place to insert "if it be thy will" when we pray. Praying for the sick is not the propertime to incert the proviso "It it is God's will" though it is sometimes proper to ask God's will when deciding on making a move to a new location or taking a certain job.. on the authority of God's Word, there is bodily healing for every saint who will meet the conditions for answered prayer, because Christ died for our sicknesses just as He died for our sins. First Peter 2:24 expresses the glorious truth that Christ has made the very same provision to heal our body as to save our soul. Beginning with the personal ministry of our Lord, all manner of sicknesses were cured by faithfilled prayer and continuing through the church age God is still, today, healing all manner of diseases in answer to the prayer of faith. If healing is in the Atonement, then every saint has a blood-bought right to be healed; and yet all saints are not healed. Thousands do not know that they must exercise the very same appropriating faith in the bruised body of Christ for their healing as they formerly exercised in His shed blood for their salvation. The same faith that saves the soul also will heal the body. Many saints do not understand this because of ignorance or false teaching, and therefore they are not healed. Such important questions as: How did sickness enter this world? How came man to sin? Who caused Adam and Eve to disobey God's command and so bring sin, sickness, and death into this world? Did our Lord Jesus Christ by His death on the cross atone for bodily sickness and disease? Was Divine Healing Only for the Church of the Apostolic Age? What Conditions Must Saints Meet To Be Healed? Why Are So Many True Saints of God Not Healed? Then, six Great Biblical Reasons Why All Christians Should Take Christ as the Healer of Their Bodies are outlined and some of Christ's marvelous promises show we should take Christ as our healer. Modern Miracles of Healing are then cited. Finally, Objections to devine healing are refuted with a list of five irrefutable reasons from scripture supporting the fact that healing is for the church age not alone for the twelve tribes scattered abroad or for the Jews of the Tribulation period.
