Why do Christians get sick

Why do Christians get sick?
Part 1

In today's world we seem to blame God for everything. Let's disease, illness and even death is an act of God or the will of God We should stop blaming God for all and turn to see what the Bible has to say about why Christians get sick? The Bible gives three reasons for sickness and physical problems, all our afflictions fall into one of these categories.

1. To glorify God
In John's Gospel, Chapter 9, verses1-3, we read of a man who was blind from birth. Neither he nor his parents sinned. The Bible asked: "Who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, 'Neither he nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him'. "

The Apostle had a thorn in the flesh. "He prayed three times for healing, but the Lord said, 'My grace is sufficient for you'." II Corinthians 12:7-9. If this is our fate in life and we are sick or dying, we can say as Paul said: "For I have learned in whatever state I am, it must be satisfied." If our grief is for the glory of God, all the prayers of the world does not remove it.

2. Sins unacknowledged
In 1 Corinthians 11: 28-32, we read of weakness, illness and early death to come when believers would not confess their sins. They were judged by God "For this reason many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. "

Sickness, sin, is a review of the Lord, but can be removed if we make things right with the Lord. All the prayers in the world will not heal pain caused by sin. Only prayer and repentance can remove it. If prayer and repentance does not remove the pain, then the problem may be due to a third reason that the Bible gives the violation of the laws of God, health!

3. The violation of health standards of God
We read in 1 Corinthians 3:16-18: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" If any man defile the temple of God, God will destroy him is, for God's temple is holy , which temple ye are. That no man deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. "1 Corinthians 6: 19-20. "What?" Do not you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is God. " If Christians do not care for his body, God will destroy him! If you can trust to take care of what we have now, how can we have confidence in heaven for all eternity?

Dear fellow Christians, we take a good look at ourselves to see if they violate God's laws of health. Let us fall on my knees and ask for understanding on what the Bible says about the care of our bodies. We can start taking care of ourselves today. So let's get healthy!
