Is all sickness from sin?
Christian author Ellen G. White once wrote:
"It is a sin to be sick; for all sickness is the result of transgression" (Counsels on
Health, p. 37).
What does this mean? Does it mean that if you are sick it is because you sinned? If that were true everybody would be physically always sick. We are all "spiritually sick" because of sin and it is true that some sins can bring on physical illness such as sins that abuse our bodies [doing drugs, smoking, liquor, etc].
Mostly it is a sin to be "sick" spiritually . So get Jesus and get Life!
"All sickness" is from the first act of sin..from Adam and Eve's sin. Their sin shows where all sickness stems from. Sickness in it's ultimate sense was birthed by and through sin. Now, does that mean that if a baby get's sick and dies it was from a personal sin that the baby committed? Nope.
Some get sick simply because of inherited sin. Thus, all sickness is the result of transgression. [direct or inderect].
It was never God's intent that people get sick and die. Satan is now alowed to use sickness on others because sickness is a part of "Satan's world". But God has proven that His people trust in Him and will thus see Him again in their new bodies!
"So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful
sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. ... In all this, Job did not sin" (Job 2:7, 10).
