A statement heard yesterday--"I know our church teaches us to speak God's Word, but tragic things happen to Christians all the time. I don't understand." The context was the news that a pastor had contracted cancer. (Not my pastor.)
Just because some people don't receive healing does not mean that God does not heal. Just because some die before their time, does not mean that the Word of God has no effect.
For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar.
This verse here is talking about people that don't believe Jesus died for them. Not everyone in the world is saved. Does that mean that God is not faithful? This verse says, "Certainly not!"
We must realize there is a devil in this world, he has dominion of this world right now. He wants nothing better than to stop the plans of God and hinder Christian's effectiveness. We also must realize that people have a part to play. None of us can look into a person's heart and see whether they are exercising faith or living in fear and doubt.
If you have doubts about whether it is God's will to heal, I encourage you to study that. Your life may depend on it.
I leave you with one of my favorite verses -
John 17:17b
Your Word is truth.
That says it all.
