Why Do Christians Get Sick? How Should We Experience Sickness?

Why Does God Allow Christians to Suffer Sickness?

May 1, 2019

By Du Shuai

The phrase “scramble around to find a doctor when you’re sick” directly reflects people’s feelings of anxiety, helplessness and panic when they get sick. As Christians, although we know that everything is created by God, that God gave us our very breath and that God rules and arranges the life and death of man, we can still feel at a loss as to what to do when confronted by sickness. I was therefore confused about this matter: When sickness befalls us, how should we experience it in order to be able to face it calmly and to have true faith in God? I often prayed and sought with God about this, and I sought and fellowshiped with my brothers and sisters until, after some time, I understood: When we get sick, only by understanding what God’s intention is behind our getting sick and by mastering four principles of practice can we resolve our feelings of unease, panic and helplessness, and generate true faith in God. I shall here share my small, simple bit of understanding with my brothers and sisters in the hope that it will be of some help to you all.

As members of the human race, as Christ’s devoted followers, it’s our duty, our responsibility to offer up our minds and bodies for the fulfillment of God’s commission. For our whole being came from God, and we exist thanks to His sovereignty. For our whole being came from God, and we exist thanks to His sovereignty.

Since Xi Jinping came to power, the human rights situation in China has significantly deteriorated; the persecution of religious practitioners, ethnic minorities, and dissidents is now comparable to that in the Cultural Revolution. The United States’ Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2018 stated that China is the country with the most serious human rights violations, and it also mentioned the systematic persecution suffered by Uyghurs, Falun Gong practitioners, and members of The Church of Almighty God (CAG) in China.

Best Christian Worship Song | "God Hopes to Gain Man's True Faith and Love for Him"

God hopes when you understand, understand the true side of Him, you will grow even closer to Him; you will truly appreciate His love and His concern for mankind; you’ll give your heart up to Him, having no more doubts, having no more suspicions about Him. He does everything for man, though quietly so, doing it all silently through His sincerity, faithfulness, and love. Never does He have any apprehension or regret for what He does; never does He ask for repayment from man, nor hope to get anything from them. His only purpose in all He does is for man’s true faith and love for Him.

2019 Christian Gospel Song | "Obey the Work of the Spirit to Follow to the End"

The Holy Spirit’s work changes day to day, higher step by step with greater revelations. This is how God works to perfect mankind. If man cannot keep up, he may be left behind. Without a heart willing to obey, he cannot follow through to the end. Those who disobey by nature, oppose by will, they will be left behind, as God’s work rushes on. Only those who obey, gladly humble themselves can progress to the end, to the end of the road. 

Spiritual Growth: What Constitutes True Spiritual Devotion?

Spiritual Growth: What Constitutes True Spiritual Devotion?

I Believed That Spiritual Devotion Consisted of Persistently Reading the Bible, Saying Prayers and Singing Hymns

I remember the first time I went to church and listened to the pastor give a sermon and, afterward, I came to have some knowledge of the Lord Jesus’ salvation and I expressed my desire to believe in the Lord on the spot. As I was leaving, the pastor reminded me that, “To live as a Christian, one must practice spiritual devotion.” I asked the pastor, “What is spiritual devotion? How do we practice it?” The pastor then told me, “Spiritual devotion is reading the Bible, saying prayers and singing hymns of praise every day. When we pray, we must pray for our families, pray for the weak brothers and sisters in our church, and pray for the servants of God. We must persist with reading the Bible and singing hymns every day as well, and we must keep doing it without interruption. As long as you practice spiritual devotion diligently every day, then your spirituality will continue to develop and you will draw closer and closer to the Lord, and then God will be gladdened.”
