There have been many centuries of proclaiming the Gospel without the revelation that our salvation includes healing. Therefore, when healing is taught as God’s will for us now, though we know this to be true, we stumble because it appears too big a mountain to defeat with our faith. The problem is not the word of God, for it is always true and it fully proclaims that healing belongs to the children of God. The problem is that our history of unbelief is so huge we need to become aggressive in our pursuit of God’s will for healing or it will remain out of reach. The world hungers and cries out for a Gospel with power to defeat the disease and unnatural death that pervades our culture. Jesus gave us such a Gospel. He is our victory. He is the Gospel. It’s all contained in Him. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. When we turn away from Jesus we may find some remedies that work for a while and produce a degree of relief or comfort. But they are not the Gospel. They are no substitute for what Jesus paid to freely give us. To enjoy the benefits of the New Covenant we must come to Jesus. He is the well that springs up into a river of everlasting life. His Spirit is the river of life emanating from the throne of God. In its current it carries wonderful leaves from the Tree of Life for the healing of the nations. John 4:12-14 12“Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?” 13Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14“but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” Revelation 22:1, 2 1And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Your healing is in Christ and by His Spirit. Come to the River of the Water of Life and drink. iv YOUR HEALING IS FULLY PAID FOR For too many years we have lost hold of the truth that Jesus not only paid for our sin at Calvary, but He also paid for all of the effects of our sin upon our lives, including disease, infirmity and destructions of the flesh. He paid the price to make us whole in spirit, soul and body. This is all included in the work of Christ to reconcile us to our Heavenly Father. 2 Corinthians 5: 17-19 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) 17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! 18 But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him]. 19 It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor). Reconciliation means more than being cleansed from sin. It also includes restoration to a position of divine favor with God. This was accomplished for each one of us as Jesus Christ shed His blood on the way to and on the cross at Calvary. In S n ’ c n y ( f nc numb G2643) it is defined as exchange (figuratively adjustment), that is, restoration to (the divine) favor: - atonement, reconciliation (-ing). u f c nc n indicated in the Old Testament word n m n , n c mp c nc n. In O stament we usually find the H b p n n m n . I n m n n cover sin. In the New Testament there are four words in the Greek (from two root words) which convey the concept of reconciliation as explained in the previous paragraph. Only once do the translators of the King James Version use the word n m n n N m n ; R m n 5:11. H v , v ns of the N m n u c nc n n p . b expected, c un n n f n m n v n y p v f the covering of sins before God. Every year the High Priest had to come before God to offer the blood of a spotless innocent lamb to cover the sins of the nation from the past year. Atonement covered sins but it did not provide a recovery of 1 direct relationship with God. Paul told the Corinthians truly good news. Jesus came to reconcile us back to His Father. fu un n n f c nc n v ff c f J u , p f c Lamb of God, offering His blood to cleanse away all our sins; past, present and future. The sins are not merely covered, they are washed away and God declares us completely righteous when we put our trust in the redeeming work of Christ (Philippians 3:9). Atonement only provided a partial temporary reconciliation between God and man. Jesus provides complete and permanent reconciliation to His Father for anyone who accepts Him as Savior. Colossians 1:21, 22 21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— W c n mn n m n’ u f m God, now God acquits and enjoys fellowship with the man. This is more than simply being okay now. This person is now in a favorable position with God. He was not innocent, he was a sinner. Now he is honored and promoted to the position of a son due to the work of Christ. All the promises, blessings and graces of God are fully available to the redeemed and ju f p n u C ’ finished work of reconciliation.
