Question: WHY Doesn't God Heal Everyone Today? Answer: God is the ALMIGHTY. Nothing is impossible with Him (Matt. 19:26). He could heal every sickness, disease, or infirmity. But He doesn't! Why? Since God is not healing all today, there must be a reason why He allows suffering to continue. Almost no one seems to understand the answer to this question. God is letting this world go its own way in defiance of His laws. He is permitting humanity to learn by hard experience, by suffering, sickness, by mental anguish, that the ways that seem right to man end in sorrow and death. The Creator set physical laws as well as spiritual laws in motion. When we violate the physical laws, we become ill. Cancer, heart trouble, and hundreds of other diseases afflicting human beings are the result of broken law, of violations of God's revealed way of life. Yet mankind doesn't believe this. Instead of inquiring into the laws that would keep US healthy, humanity seeks drugs to alleviate the results of physical sins, bur is not willing to learn the causes of human woes. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
