Does God Still Heal Today? | John MacArthur

In this excerpt, John MacArthur answers a question that continues to divide many Christians today: Does God still heal? While affirming that God is fully able to heal and still answers prayer, MacArthur challenges the popular claim that physical healing is guaranteed in the atonement or available on demand through faith. He then offers a detailed exposition of James 5, arguing that the passage has often been misunderstood and that its primary focus is not physical healing, but the restoration and strengthening of spiritually weary believers. Drawing from the biblical context, Greek text, and the broader teaching of Scripture, MacArthur explains why suffering and physical weakness can serve God's purposes and why the church's greatest ministry is often not miraculous healing, but strengthening those who are spiritually exhausted and burdened.
