Why is sickness considered beneficial for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Sickness serves to draw believers closer to God and is intended for their spiritual benefit.

As taught in the sermon, sickness is not a punishment from God but can be a way for Him to strengthen believers' faith and reliance on Him. In times of illness, individuals often turn to prayer, scripture, and community, enabling them to grow spiritually. The speaker illustrates that sickness can redirect focus from worldly concerns to eternal truths, underscoring the idea that all experiences—good or bad—are part of God’s sovereign plan and are ultimately for His glory.
