Have you ever been told by another Christian that sickness is

God-given or God-ordained, and intended to be a means by which

God refines our character or deepens our faith? This is certainly one

view of sickness and disease - it is a tool used mysteriously by God

for His own good purposes. Well what does the Bible, God’s holy

Word, say in regard to this subject? Only by examining the divinely

inspired words of the Bible can we obtain a true and accurate picture

of God’s will concerning sickness, disease, healing and health.
