"For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2
Let’s go back and review the Greek words for salvation and saved, they both mean health and deliverance from sickness and disease. Soteria (salvation), Strong’s 4991: means deliverer, health, rescue, and safety. Fourfold salvation: saved from the penalty, power, presence and most importantly the pleasure of sin. Deliverance from the molestation of enemies, future salvation: the sum of benefits and blessings which the Christians, redeemed from all earthly ills, will enjoy after the visible return of Christ from heaven in the consummated and eternal kingdom of God. Sozo (saved), Strong's 4982, means to keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger and destruction. To save one from perishing, to save from disease, to make well, to heal, to restore. To preserve, to deliver from the penalties of sin and judgment and finally to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of deliverance.
Jesus was used by God to heal so many people during His earthly ministry, that when they couldn’t get to Him with the sick, they literally ripped the roofs off where He was, so that they could get to Him, Mark 2:4. We can’t read the Gospels and ever come up with the conclusion that God wants us sick; it’s just not the Truth! Jesus never says that He cannot heal a sick person because God doesn’t will it. Jesus never put sickness on someone to teach them a Truth about God, nor does He ever deny to heal anyone who asked. Jesus never said that He couldn’t heal because it was God’s will for them to be sick! Everywhere that Jesus went He healed, whether they could accept it or not! Even in His hometown where He marveled at their unbelief, the Word says Jesus healed! Now Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He changes not. Jesus’ compassion is just as strong today as it was 2000 years ago! “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 So if God acted compassionately and miraculously through Jesus 2000 years ago, He is the same way today! If God was healing the sick back then, He is healing them today. Jesus ever lives to intercede for us and that is why we are saved and healed to the uttermost! By Jesus’ stripes we are healed! Today is the day of our health and now is our accepted time in Christ Jesus. Christ is far greater in us, than anything that is in this world.
