Divine healing demonstrates deliverance from sin and from what condition caused by sin?

• A. Consequences
• B. Guilt
• C. Punishment
• D. Temptation

Answer: (A)

Divine healing is shown as deliverance not only from sin itself but from the effects sin has produced in human life. The term here points to the consequences that sin brings—illness, infirmities, and other conditions that afflict the body or life as a result of living in a fallen world. Guilt is related to sin’s forgiveness through salvation, but healing emphasizes removing the physical and experiential effects that sin has caused. Temptation is the lure to sin, not the condition produced by sin; punishment is more about penalties that may follow sin, which isn’t the focus of healing’s deliverance. So the condition addressed by divine healing, in this context, is the consequences of sin.
