The God Who Heals | Episode 6 | The Atonement

What did Jesus actually provide for us through the cross? Scripture reveals that the atonement addressed more than our sin. Jesus came to bring wholeness to our spirit, soul, and body.

In Episode 6 of "The God Who Heals," Duane Sheriff teaches how the cross provides forgiveness for sin, peace for the soul, and healing for the body. Isaiah 53 declares that Jesus bore our transgressions and iniquities, carried our griefs and sorrows, and that by His stripes we are healed. Matthew 8 confirms the physical dimension of this promise by connecting Isaiah's prophecy directly to Jesus healing the sick.

What Jesus provided through the atonement must be received by faith. Just as being made righteous does not mean believers will never face temptation or sin, the provision that was made for healing does not mean sickness will never come. We resist sickness just as we resist sin, standing in faith upon what Jesus has already accomplished.

Rather than letting experiences or traditions determine what we believe, we must let Scripture form our beliefs. Discover how the cross dealt with the effects of sin and made provision for wholeness through the finished work of Jesus.
