Mankind suffers from the sickness of sin. It is an insidious spiritual disease that is unrecognizable to those who suffer from it. Like a physical disease that goes undetected until it has done its awful work, sin causes those held by its tentacles to be unaware of its devastating effect upon them – until it has done its awful work.
Though it may appear that there is no remedy for this affliction that holds so much of our race in its terrible grip, though it may seem we are too affected by it to be aware of it, everyone we know suffers from it, so being afflicted seems like the norm. How can we know we need a cure when the symptoms of the disease are so pervasive?
Yet, in the light of truth, in the realization of what wholeness is, we come to the realization of our need and we recognize that Jesus is the One, the only One who has the healing balm that can make us spiritually whole. We go to Him, we allow Him to administer the healing balm of Calvary to our sin, and we are made guilt-free.
As He promised in Jeremiah 33:6 and Hosea 14:4, “I will heal My people and will give them peace and security.” “I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for My anger has turned away from them.” Because He loves us, He has provided that the one thing that separates us from Him — sin will be removed and we can be restored to Him.
