Established by Grace

Hebrews 13:9

New King James Version (NKJV)

Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

You are healthy NOT because

  • You are healthy not because you are doing exercise regularly
  • You are healthy not because you eat proper diet
  • You are healthy not because you super perfect

You are healthy because

  • You are healthy because of Jesus finished work on the cross
  • He took all your diseases and sickness on the cross
  • Be established with the work of Jesus on the cross

Matthew 15:21-28

New King James Version (NKJV)

21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

23 But He answered her not a word.

And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”

24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
