How do we know that sickness is not a sign of God's displeasure?

Answered in 1 source

Sickness can be for the glory of God, not necessarily a sign of His displeasure or lack of faith.

In John 11, we learn that Lazarus's sickness was not unto death but for the glory of God, demonstrating that trials such as sickness are allowed by God for a purpose. Sickness for believers serves as a reminder to turn our affections from the world to Christ. It teaches us that life is fleeting and encourages us to rely on our Savior. The idea that sickness equates to God's displeasure is a misconception; rather, God uses it to draw us closer to Him, ultimately working for our good and His glory.
