Can sin cause sickness?

John 5:14 

"But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you." (NLT)

I am not an expert in this area but I think that the reasons for sickness are- 1.) God's Judgement  2.) Satan's attack.

In the Old testament God judged the sins of the people. Sickness was a result of His judgement many times.What about us in the New testament? Is it God putting sickness on us? No! Does that mean that God has changed His stance on sin? NO! It is important to understand that it is not God judging us for our sin. (Romans 5:9 , 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9)  Jesus already took the judgement (Isaiah 53:4-6 ) for all our sins- past, present and future. When we sin we open a door for the enemy to attack us. (1 Peter 5:8, John 10:10) Therefore sin sometimes causes the enemy to attack us with sickness. 

So sin maybe the cause of sickness comes upon a person. However, sin is not always the reason that healing is delayed. Note that Jesus healed the person while he was still in sin.  This should not cause a person to continue in sin but rather stop sinning (After all Christians ought to want to live like Christ!) and  give the boldness to approach God. We can do that because healing based on Who HE is and what He did on the cross. Have faith in His grace!

Why the change?

I have decided to change the name of the blog from "dead seed" to "Grace" for one simple reason. Too many times we try to live the Christian lives by our efforts. The end of that is failure and frustration.  Denying self is important. However, we must keep in mind that we cannot deny our flesh in our own strengths. Flesh cannot defeat flesh. Let us let Christ in us live through us.
