The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

1 Peter 2:24

Title: You have been healed


The atonement includes the promise of physical healing as looking forward to the moment the redeemed will be changed in the twinkling of an eye and be clothed with immortality.

We know from experience that Christians get sick and die, and not all sicknesses end up being healed by prayer. Some get cured, others don’t. God is sovereign; he would heal whom he would. Even Elijah suffered from the illness from which he died.

Our hope is in not getting sick, but that in the resurrection we will be raised imperishable and then there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
