If God is good why does disease happen? I’ve asked this question before, and I now understand that the disease is the result of brokenness of this world because of our sin. But I still struggle with the question why does God allow disease to happen? He’s all powerful, it doesn’t matter if the world is broken or not, he can still prevent disease from happening, so why doesn’t He do that?

All human diseases come as a result of sin. Of course, there are those who are afflicted with sickness in order to reveal the authority of God, but such cases are extremely rare; every disease is a curse brought about by sin. Then why does God allow curses and sickness? Why does He permit all kinds of suffering, calamities, curses, and diseases? It is so that people may not rely on their own flesh and live by the desires of the body, but rather be led to fully follow the will of God. In other words, in order to prevent people from pursuing fleshly happiness, blessings, and success that are bound to repeat sin throughout their lives by chasing after the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, He sometimes allows them to be ruined, sometimes breaks apart families, sometimes destroys them through calamity, sometimes removes their businesses or jobs, and sometimes causes them to suffer with terminal or incurable diseases.
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.(Deuteronomy 11 : 26~28)
For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.(Lamentations 3 : 33~41)
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.(2 Samuel 7 : 14~15)
All blessings and calamities come from God; therefore, sickness is a curse resulting from the wages of sin. Today, Christians all emphasize only the sins that appear outwardly, but the invisible sins inevitably grow unchecked. For example, no one carefully teaches or learns that anger and wrath, envy and jealousy, lust, pride, lies, and hatred fall under sins worthy of death, because they serve God while clinging to the world and material things, thereby teaching and learning nothing but evil deeds, heresies, corruption, and falsehood. This is because their faith is not one of following Christ but of following fleshly desires, seeking only their own happiness, blessings, success, and prosperity. Such a faith, driven by the lusts and cravings of the flesh, can only conceive sin until death.
Thus, all Christians, while committing sin and repenting, turn back again to sin, trapped in evil habits, repeating sin until the end of their lives. The fundamental purpose of repentance is never to sin again. A repentance that continues to repeat sin can never be a true rebirth, nor can it bring real change or transformation. This is not the life of Christ, nor the life of a true Christian, but a faith pursued by human beings who seek only their own blessings, happiness, prosperity, comfort, and consolation according to the nature of the flesh. For this reason, they can never escape the human limitation of endlessly repeating sin until death.
As long as sin is repeated, in most cases, sickness will not be healed.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.(John 5 : 14~15)
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.(Luke 11 : 24~26)
