Release Forgiveness Towards Others And YourselfSampel

What is the legal basis of forgiveness and healing?

Today, I’d like to share the text with you that is, for me, the legal basis of forgiveness and healing. It’s one of the best known, most controversial, and also one of the most explicit of Scriptures…

“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” (the Bible, Isaiah 53:4-5) 

The griefs and sorrows this passage speaks of are directly linked to sickness. It’s our sorrows He carried...Jesus bore them, and we considered Him stricken by God. Jesus carried your sorrows, my friend, your sickness and infirmity. He was wounded and bruised for your transgressions and iniquities...He fully paid the price for the forgiveness of your sins.

This verse is very important because it directly associates the work of the cross with the solution for your sickness…“and by His stripes we are healed.”

It also holds forgiveness for our sins and the solution to inner emotional problems…“He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him.”

Just as this song by Crowder says, “Forgiven, forgiven, child, there is freedom from all of it, say goodbye to every sin, you are forgiven…”

You received the peace of God because Jesus paid the price in full for you! Because He hung on the cross and died, bearing your sickness and iniquities, you can receive all kinds of healing, including forgiveness and healing for your soul.

Thanks for existing!
