“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases” (Ps. 103:2-3).
Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation show that both forgiveness and healing were provided on the Cross. These Scriptures show that when you are forgiven, you can be healed as well, and when you are healed, you can also be forgiven.
Forgiveness and healing go hand in hand and cannot be separated. We are made righteous through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and we are healed through the stripes He bore.
You may ask, “But what if I’m sick today as a result of living in sin in the past?” Even if sin opened the door to sickness, you can be forgiven and healed at the same time because of God’s love and mercy.
So don’t take one part of Jesus’ redemptive work and leave the other. If one part of God’s plan of redemption is for today, then all of it is for today. Jesus’ body was broken for you as surely as His blood was shed for you. You have as much right to be healed as you do to be saved and forgiven from sin.
It’s a package deal, and it all belongs to you!
When I received Jesus as my Savior, I also received Him as
my healer. I meditate on all of His benefits. His blood was
shed for my sins, and His body was broken for my healing.
