Should Christians Consult with Doctors and Take Medicine?

Yes. Medical science is a gift from God. The skill that doctors have is, without question, a blessing that God has given us for our good.

However, we must understand that all healing comes from God (see Psalms 103:2-3, Isaiah 53:4-5). Medicines can help, but they only speed up the natural process of healing. Ambroise Pare’, the 16th century father of modern surgery, often said, “I dressed his wounds; God healed him.”

God heals through prayer, through rest and nutrition, through medicine, and through doctors. It is God’s will that those who are sick be made whole, just as it is His desire that all might come to know Him. Regrettably, as long as people are as they are and the world is as it is, all will not come to know God and all will not be healed.
