Sermon Notes:

Is Physical Healing Part of Salvation?

John 8:31-32 know the truth, the truth will make you free

Proverbs 4:20-23 word – health to all your flesh

Salvation – soteria (Greek) – rescue, safety, deliver, health, save

Romans 5:12 death entered by sin (nature polluted)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

Genesis 2:7 formed man from the dust (soil) of the ground

Genesis 3:17 cursed (amplified) – the ground is cursed because of you

Deuteronomy 28 blessing and curse – vs. 61 – every sickness
“Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.”

Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”
Vs 14 so blessing may come

Old Covenant:
Genesis 12:4 Abram called by God at 75
Genesis 17:17 (24 years later) Abraham 99, Sarah 90
Genesis 20 Abimelech wanted Sarah


Promise to children of Israel

Exodus 23:25-26 I will take sickness away from the midst
“And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill.”

Psalm 105:37 children of Israel – not a feeble one
“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.”

Psalm 103:1-3 benefits of serving God
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;”

Psalm 107:17-20 even when we are to blame, God will heal
“Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

Isaiah 52:14-15 & 53:1-5 (Amplified)
“[For many the Servant of God became an object of horror; many were astonished at Him.] His face and His whole appearance were marred more than any man's, and His form beyond that of the sons of men--but just as many were astonished at Him, 15So shall He startle and sprinkle many nations, and kings shall shut their mouths because of Him; for that which has not been told them shall they see, and that which they have not heard shall they consider and understand.

WHO HAS believed (trusted in, relied upon, and clung to) our message [of that which was revealed to us]? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been disclosed?(A) 2For [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender plant, and like a root out of dry ground; He has no form or comeliness [royal, kingly pomp], that we should look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him. 3He was despised and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or have any esteem for Him. 4Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].(B) 5But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.

Matthew 8:16-17
“When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.”

I Peter 2:24
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

I John 3:8b for this purpose the Son of God was manifested
