We can stand on God's word with the power of healing provided in the atonement, by exercising our faith to deny the reality of sickness, and take matters in our own hand to challenge the physical law governing health. By understanding the concept of the power in healing outside the framework of science, we place ourselves in the position of positive faith belief.

If believers are living by faith, just as individuals are saved by faith, God will heal them if they are sick, which begs the question, should a Christian be continually been physically sick?
