Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bible say about healing?

The Bible describes God as a healer — Exodus 15:26 says 'I am the LORD that healeth thee.' Isaiah 53:5 says 'with his stripes we are healed.' James 5:14-15 instructs the sick to call for prayer from church elders.

Does God still heal today?

Many Christians believe God still heals based on James 5:14-15 and the testimony of believers. Others note that God's answer may be healing, strength to endure, or ultimate healing in eternity. All agree prayer for the sick is commanded.

Why are some people not healed despite prayer?

This is one of Christianity's most difficult pastoral questions. Paul had a 'thorn in the flesh' God chose not to remove (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). Timothy had ongoing health issues (1 Timothy 5:23). The Bible does not promise immediate physical healing for every believer, but it does promise God's presence, grace, and ultimate restoration in eternity.
