-Healing and Holiness

After healing the man, Jesus found him again with a warning: "Do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you." 

Grace that saves also calls to repentance. Physical suffering is nothing compared to eternal judgment. 

Jesus linked compassion with conviction—He loved the man too much to leave him unchanged. 

Conversion requires both rescue and instruction. You've been saved completely, but you're also being sanctified continually. 

Every answered prayer should fuel more obedience. 

Every demonstration of God's faithfulness should deepen your desire to follow Him. 

The root of salvation produces the fruit of holiness—not as obligation, but as overflow. 

If saved, always saved. But if truly saved, there will be fruit.
