In the Same Breath

But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.
Isaiah 53:5 NLT

He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
1st Peter 2:24NLT

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Luke 5:22-25 NKJV

As Christians, we believe the Bible is the divinely-inspired Word of God and as such, we believe it is true. We also believe the purpose of Jesus dying on the Cross was to pay the price for our sins so we can be forgiven. We can believe that we are forgiven because Christ's death on the Cross set us free from sin. So... then I have a question.

As witnessed in our Scripture references above, the Lord talks about both forgiveness and healing in the same breath. If we have no problem believing Jesus forgives our sins, then why don't we believe in healing? 

Prayer:

Father, 

           We pray as the father prayed in Mark 9:24, We believe! Help our unbelief! Shine the light of Your Truth on Your Word as we study it. Reveal to us all that You would have us to know. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
