A
Complete Redemption
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
For
if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life by one, Jesus Christ.(Rom.
5:17)
Let's continue
reading in Romans chapter 5.
Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness
of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.For as
by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of
one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin
abounded, grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom.
5:18-21)
If man's redemption
from spiritual death (and that's what these verses in Romans chapter 5
are talking about) is to be a complete redemption, it must be a
redemption from disease as well as from sin.
God has clearly shown us in His Word that He has made provision for the
healing of man's body.
In Isaiah chapter 53, God lifts the curtain, so to speak, and let's us
see Him dealing with sin and sickness.
Verses 4 and 5 say, Surely he hath borne
our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted. 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.
The words griefs and
sorrows are better translated "sickness" and "disease." God's great plan
of redemption not only took care of man's sin; it also took care of
man's sickness and disease.
Confession
: Jesus bore my sickness and
disease and purchased healing for me in His death, burial, and
resurrection so that I could enjoy health and healing. Jesus consummated
God's great plan of redemption so that I could be free - spirit, soul,
and body.
