How Many is "ALL?"

Whether
you study it out in the Hebrew (Old Testament) or the Greek (New Testament) you
will find that the word translated "all" in the Bible means
"all!" Now, ALL is
100%... it is "all" there is, there isn't anything left over, or left
out. "All" is
"all!" You may say, "So
what?" Well, the Bible says,
"Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
diseases..." (Psalms 103:1-3) Many folks are very comfortable with
God forgiving ALL our inquities (or sins.) Why is that?
Because they have heard it taught that way for years. Many folks that have grown up in denominational
churches have heard that God saves us from sin to the uttermost!

Since faith comes by hearing, and hearing by
the Word of God (Romans 10:17), our having heard the truth that God removes ALL
our sin is solid in our thinking, and in our spirit man. However, the same Bible, in fact, the same
scripture, says that the SAME God heals ALL our diseases! God is just as much a "healer" and
He is a "saver"... or, Saviour!
In fact, the word that is used in the Bible in the New Testament with
regard to salvation is "sozo" in the Greek, which means, "saved,
healed, delivered, protected and made whoile, spirit, soul, body, financially
and socially." So the same Jesus
who is Saviour is Healer! This is
exactly in line with Isaiah 53:4 and Matthew 8:17 which indicates that what
Jesus accomplished on the Cross and through His sacrifice bought us both salvation...
spiritually, and healing... physically.
So, all
sin is covered by Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection... the plan of
salvation covered it all! Is there ANY
sin that wasn't covered? Maybe, say,
murder? NO! How about homosexuality? NO!
His plan covered them ALL!
Even so, God's plan of salvation covered healing of EVERY sickness,
and EVERY disease! Was AIDS left
out? NO! Was cancer left out? NO!
"All" means ALL!
You can stand in faith that every sickness that may confront you is
"covered!" You can believe
that every sin that you may have committed is "covered!" God is the God of the ALL! His Plan covers it ALL!
So, how
many is "All? ALL is ALL!
