We have the right

He gave us the right to be healed, to be free, and to be saved

We deserve nothing, on the contrary, we are born due to God, but by mercy, by grace, by right, He comes and acts in mine and in his life. We have a clear example, when we find someone who is sick, what needs to be done? Cry and have pity? No, we must call the elders of the church. "Is anyone among you sick? Call the elders of the church, and pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him "(James 5:14, 15). Understand my dear brother, the Lord did not say that he will heal one for being happy, and not cure the other for being sad, no, the only condition that He gave is: to call the elders. Remember the passage of Naaman? He went to the prophet, but according to what he had imagined, did not happen, but when he did what the Elisha spoke, he was healed. He had the right to receive the cure, and when he did what was commanded, he conquered.

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; and we considered him afflicted, smitten of God, and oppressed. But he was wounded for our transgressions, and he was bruised for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed. "(Isaiah 53: 4, 5)

He gave us the right to be healed, to be free, and to be saved. We do not deserve salvation, but we have the right to it, when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have the right to salvation.
