But man was not left hopeless.

God, in his abundant and unfailing mercies, provided a means of

bringing man back to himself, and to make him regain all he had lost – including good health! He
gave His only begotten Son to accomplish this. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).

The suffering and death of Jesus Christ on the cross was primarily meant to free mankind from the
yoke of sin. But that’s not all – he also came to free mankind from the problems that came with sin.
And these include sicknesses and diseases. 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 (Isaiah 53:5). With the painful stripes inflicted on Jesus for our sake, our healing and health
was secured and guaranteed!

Far beyond the good that modern medical science offers, God’s word has been proved for centuries
to be health to the body: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not
depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find
them, and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22). Obedience to God’s word coupled with faith
and prayer can produce better health in us and reduce our hospital visits and reliance on pills. Daily
intake of God’s word keeps you from sinning. And this is the sure prescription for a healthy living for
the mind, body and soul. In other words, the surest way to avoid sickness is to avoid sin like a
plague.

As you read, believe and claim God’s promises concerning all that Christ has come to accomplish in
your life including salvation for your soul and healing for your body, you will experience the joy of
living a sin-free and sickness-free life. Remember, God’s promises for good health have no age limit.
It is the devil’s lie to keep you inactive, useless and You can claim His precious promises of healthy
living and long life today.
