Continue When No Germ Will Cause Harm

Today, as we are all painfully aware, everyone is subject to sickness and death. Germs harm millions, often proving fatal. Yet, the human body is so marvelously designed that some wonder why anybody gets sick. Medical Doctor Lewis Thomas wrote of the vital role of bacteria and observed that illness comes about "like and accident." He said: " It may be that the defense mechanisms of affected patients are flawed in some special way."

Indeed, those with strong immune systems rarely, if ever, suffer from bacterial infection. Nonetheless, eventually people succumb to old old age and death. The Bible says that sin inherited from the originally perfect first human, Adam, is the flaw responsible for sickness and death. "Through one man," The Bible explains, "sin entered into the world and death through sin,and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned."- Romans 5:12.

God, however, sent his Son to earth to provide his perfect life as a ransom to release humans from the effects of sin. (Matthew 20:28) The Bible explains: "The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23; 1John 5:11) Under the rule of God's Kingdom, the healing effects of Christ's ransom sacrifice will be realized. Then all germs. even those that now cause disease, will do not harm to anyone.
