Why do people get sick?
Sin is one reason, when Adam and Eve sinned it brought disease into the world. So we live in a cursed world.
But sickness isn’t necessarily due to your sin.
God can use disease for His glory.
John 9: 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.
Sin can cause disease as we see in John 5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.”
Satan can cause disease.
Mark 5:9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.
It’s best not to get hung up on the cause of your illness, rather pray His will be done and that He uses your sickness for His glory. There have been many deathbed conversions, not the person dying but the onlookers, unbelievers when the saint passes and goes into the glory of God.
To whom will we be an example to?
Blessings, David
