The Bible said, by His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). God had also offered divine healing in case any part of our bodies becomes sick. Romans 8:11, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” It, therefore, means that we can enjoy divine health because resurrection power lives inside of us. It, therefore, means that no sickness survives under the presence of this divine life that lives in us. The “Zoe” was imparted into our spirits and our bodies became inoculated against sicknesses and diseases. This divine life that lives in us is the resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead. When we became Born Again, we received divine life – the God kind of life living inside of us. You may ask, is it possible to enjoy divine health? Yes, it is because the “Zoe” lives inside a child of God. 3 John 1:2, “Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritual” (Holman Christian Standard Bible Version). Don’t accept the life of sickness or any form of infirmity because, in Christ, there is no sickness at all. Divine health is your birthright in Christ Jesus. The ultimate plan of God is not divine healing but divine health.

The Targum is, ``when we obey his words, our sins will be forgiven us '' but forgiveness is not through our obedience, but the blood of Christ.į15 Mechilta apud Yalkut, par. Christ is a wonderful physician he heals by taking the sicknesses of his people upon himself, by bearing their sins, and being wounded and bruised for them, and by his enduring blows, and suffering death itself for them. Sin is a disease belonging to all men, a natural, hereditary, nauseous, and incurable one, but by the blood of Christ forgiving sin is a healing of this disease and this is to be had, and in no other way, than through the stripes and wounds, the blood and sacrifice, of the Son of God. Or "by his stripe" F17, or "bruise": properly the black and blue mark of it, so called from the gathering and settling of the blood where the blow is given. That is, the punishment of our sins was inflicted on him, whereby our peace and reconciliation with God was made by him for chastisement here does not design the chastisement of a father, and in love, such as the Lord chastises his people with but an act of vindictive justice, and in wrath, taking vengeance on our sins, of our surety, whereby divine wrath is appeased, justice is satisfied, and peace is made: and with his stripes we are healed The ancient Jews understood this of the Messiah in one place they say F15, ``chastisements are divided into three parts, one to David and the fathers, one to our generation, and one to the King Messiah as it is written, "he was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities":'' and in another place F16, ``at that time they shall declare to the Messiah the troubles of Israel in captivity, and the wicked which are among them, that do not mind to know the Lord he shall lift up his voice, and weep over the wicked among them as it is said, "he was wounded for our transgressions"'' the chastisement of our peace was upon him Not for any sins of his own, but for ours, for our rebellions against God, and transgressions of his law, in order to make atonement and satisfaction for them these were the procuring and meritorious causes of his sufferings and death, as they were taken upon him by him to answer for them to divine justice, which are meant by his being wounded for not merely the wounds he received in his hands, feet, and side, made by the nails and spear, are meant, but the whole of his sufferings, and especially his being wounded to death, and which was occasionally by bearing the sins of his people and hereby he removed the guilt from them, and freed them from the punishment due unto them: he was bruised for our iniquities Īs bread corn is bruised by threshing it, or by its being ground in the mill, as the manna was or as spice is bruised in a mortar, he being broken and crushed to pieces under the weight of sin, and the punishment of it. But he was wounded for our transgressions
