by his stripes

Thousands of Christians use this passage to state that Jesus' work on the cross was not only for sin but also for sickness. They believe the healing this passage speaks of is referring to an immediate physical healing not only spiritual healing. They believe this healing can be applied now by faith. This interpretation belongs within the greater prosperity gospel position. But is it right? Are these people's interpretations of this passage accurate? Is Peter speaking of access to immediate physical healing through faith in Christ? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge applies the grammatical and historical hermeneutic to examine the words and context to arrive at a faithful reading and theological understanding of the passage.
