In providing divine healing, God demonstrated that Christ provides deliverance from sin and from the ____ of sin.

• A. Guilt
• B. Consequences
• C. Penalty
• D. Eternity

Answer: (B)

Divine healing goes beyond removing illness to repairing the life sin has distorted. When we say Christ provides deliverance from sin and from the consequences of sin, we’re highlighting that sin affects more than guilt or punishment; it leaves lasting results in a person's relationships, habits, health, and overall life. Healing, therefore, includes freedom from these ongoing effects and a restoration of wholeness to daily living.

Guilt is tied to the sense of having sinned and is addressed through forgiveness, not the broad, life-impacting outcomes sin causes. Penalty refers to the punishment due because of sin, which Christ does bear, but the phrase here emphasizes the ripple effects in life that healing aims to undo. Eternity points to life after death, which is separate from the immediate consequences experienced in this world. Thus, the best completion is consequences, as it captures the fuller scope of deliverance brought by Christ in the realm of divine healing.
