This belief could be expressed in this fashion: God may have a divine purpose to bless a sick or injured person through their condition. Therefore, it might not be God’s will to heal or it might not be God’s timing to heal until that divine purpose is completed. God’s blessing may be that He will teach a lesson or transform the character of a person through the condition and this cannot be accomplished in any other way. When these beliefs are examined in light of what the Bible teaches, they are difficult if not impossible to support. Here are some of the problems: The Old Testament teaches that sickness is a part of the curse of the Law of Moses. The curse was always for the disobedient and wicked. It was never for the righteous. Believers are totally forgiven, completely righteous, and perfectly justified before God through Jesus Christ and His work at Calvary. Our feelings may not always assent to these divine facts but they are true nevertheless.
