• B. Reserved for pastors.
• C. A privilege.
• D. A myth.

Answer: (C)

Divine healing for Christians today is described as a privilege. It’s framed as a gracious benefit believers may rightly seek and experience through faith, prayer, and dependence on God, grounded in Christ’s atonement. This view sees healing as something offered to all who believe, not something earned by status or delivered only to pastors. It can come supernaturally, or through medical avenues God blesses, or even as God provides inner or ongoing restoration beyond physical cure. The key idea is that healing is a gracious provision available to believers, though not guaranteed in every situation, and not something one must achieve to prove faith. It isn’t a myth, since Scripture and church practice reflect God’s ongoing work of healing, and it isn’t a requirement, because believers are called to trust God and seek Him in faith, leaving the outcome to Him.
