Overview
The Bible teaches that God is interested in our complete wellbeing, including physical health. While not all sickness is due to sin, Scripture encourages us to seek God's healing through prayer, trust His sovereignty over our bodies, and practice wisdom in caring for the physical temples He has given us.
Key Scriptures
"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord" (James 5:14, NIV).
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" (1 Corinthians 6:19, NIV).
"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up" (James 5:15, NIV).
Application
Bring your health concerns to God in prayer, seek wise medical counsel, and steward your body through proper rest, nutrition, and exercise as acts of worship to Him.
