1. The Doctrine of Divine Healing
Healing means restoring normal health through God's miraculous method through faith from diseases of bodily organs or congenital deformities.
(Luke 4:40 ; John 9:1-3)
The gospel truth of healing is the news of blessing that believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and frees countless people suffering from diseases by His power.
It is included in God's history of redemption that God solves not only our sin problem but also the problem of physical disease.
(Isa 53:4) - Indeed, he carried our infirmities and bore our sorrows, but we thought that he was punished by God, smitten and afflicted.
God is Jehovah Raah, the God of Healing. The God who healed diseases in the Old Testament also shows a God who heals more actively under the New Covenant.
The God who heals diseases equally in all ages is the God who heals diseases without change in the past, present, and future. God is the same God yesterday, today and forever.
(Luke 21:33) -Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
(Luke 1:37) -For nothing is impossible with the word of God.
Our Lord is doing the work of healing and restoring our physical as well as our souls in a supernatural way.
The Lord's workers must clearly know this fact, believe it, and carry out the ministry of healing with faith, so they must testify the gospel.
However, there are those who misunderstand or oppose this healing ministry. By making them clearly know and testifying, you must clearly testify of the Lord Jesus Christ with the gospel of healing. Over the next few weeks, study the doctrine of healing by:

3) God wants the saved children of God to live healthy lives in all aspects of spirit, soul, body, and liver, and has prepared all necessary things.

A. God is deeply interested in the human body.(1 Corinthians 6:9-20)
(1 Corinthians 6:13) -Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food, but God will destroy all of them. The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

Jesus is the body and image of God, and He existed from eternity.
We all humans are created in the image of Jesus.
5) We humans were created by imitating the body of Jesus.
6) We must know the preemptive nature of Jesus Christ.
(1) I was before Abraham was born (John 8:56-58)
(2) Adam is the symbol of the one to come (Rom 5:14)
2. The work of redemption of Jesus Christ includes the redemption of the human body.
(Rom 8:23) -Not only this, but also we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we ourselves groan within ourselves as we wait for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
(Rom 7:24) -O wretched man that I am; who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
3. The body of Christians is a member of the body of Christ.(1 Cori6:15)
(1 Corinthians 6:15)
Do you not know that your body is a member of Christ? Shall I take the members of Christ and make the members of the harlot?
(Ephesians 5:30) - For we are members of his body.
-3-
(Genesis 2:23) -Adam said, "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this will be called woman, because she was taken from man." (This illustrates our relationship with Jesus)

(1 Corinthians 6:15)

(1 Corinthians 11:29-30)
Whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body of the Lord eats and drinks guilt on himself. For this reason, many among you are weak and sick, and many sleep.
1) We must know that He had a deep interest in the body of the saints, more than He had a deep interest in the Old Testament tabernacle or temple.
2) We must understand Jesus' attitude toward those who did not clean the temple and made a place of business (John 2:12-17).
6. Christians are encouraged to give glory to God with their bodies.
(1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.

(Romans 12:1) -Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship.
1) If we think about what the sacrifices were like for the sacrifices offered to God in the Old Testament, we come to know the importance of offering our bodies to God.
2) Let's know the teachings of the Holy Spirit so that we can deeply know the sacrifice of our bodies that God accepts
8. The promise of the final resurrection of the human body (1 Cor. 6:14)
(1 Corinthians 6:14) -God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
1) Christians finally live a glorious eternal life in the eternal kingdom of heaven as a spiritual body through the glorious resurrection of the body.
2) Our bodies are also transformed into the glory of Jesus who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration (1 Corinthians 15:51).
B. Relations between soul and body full of vitality
1) When there is a problem with the function of the body, it causes a lot of nutrition to the soul.
When you feel good, you feel good, and when you feel bad, it depresses your soul.
2) When the soul is in good condition, it has a great effect on the health of the body.
When you hear sad news, your feet become heavy, and when you hear good news, your feet become light.
3) According to medical statistics in 1948, two-thirds of patients reported that their bodies became ill due to mental stress. In this way, the functions of the soul and spirit have a great influence on the body.
4) Therefore, human beings can live a happy life that pleases God only when the spirit, soul, and body achieve beautiful harmony.
(1 Thessalonians 5:23)
May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

C. Two human needs
1. Humans have distinct attributes of two realms.
1) Man is both a material being and a spiritual being.
2) The human body is made of matter and requires material things. (food, clothing and shelter)
3) It does not demand material things for the soul, the inner person. He demands spiritual things.
4) For humans, both of these aspects must be met. Even Jesus acknowledged it.
(Matthew 4: 4)
Man does not live by bread alone, but by words that proceed from the mouth of God.
(Jas 2:15-16)
If a brother or sister is naked and has no daily bread, and one of you says to him, "Go in peace, keep warm and be satisfied," and you do not give him anything to eat, what good is it?
5) This word expresses that our God knows, prepares, and supplies all the needs of our two sides.
(Matthew 6:25-33)
2. The plan of complete redemption of man includes these two aspects of redemption.
1) Both the immaterial redemption of the soul and the redemption of the material body are included (Isa 53:1-11)
3. Due to the sin of Adam, the first human being, death, curses, and disease came to fallen human beings, leading to destruction.
Through Jesus Christ, the work of redemption that restores the spirit, soul, body, and liver to these human beings through the grace of God's redemption was accomplished.
4. As proof of that example, we can look at the work that Jesus did after coming in the flesh.
1) The work of evangelism to spread the gospel and save dead souls.

2) He did the ministry of healing numerous sick people through the ministry of healing.
3) When Jesus trained and sent out his disciples, he commanded them to do the same two ministries and sent them out by giving them the authority and power to do them.
(Mark 16:15-18)
And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will follow those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons and bring new They speak in tongues, pick up snakes, and if they drink anything poisonous, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover.
