Our sinfulness is covered by the blood of Christ if we are born again. But our bodies are not!!! The blood of Christ healed our sinful nature, transforming our spirit into His Spirit, but it did not have to do with the body. Our bodies were not transformed. That will not happen until we are taken in the rapture.
If my body were transformed then I wouldn't look like this anymore, I would have a perfect body. That's not happening as long as we are on this earth.
People still get sick for God's purposes, and they still die for His purposes. Sometimes we glorify God more in illness by our joyful loving attitude in the middle of it, than we would if it were healed.
People love to boast of having been healed but do they boast when they have infirmities. This might be a clue as to their trust in Christ.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10 "…8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. 10 That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.…"
God's power is shown in our weaknesses. Difficulties do not make us who we are, they reveal who we are!
2 Corinthians 12:9
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. "
