Survey of Doctrine: Topic: Righteousness

Topic: Righteousness

Introduction: One's level of righteousness or spiritual maturity or length of time in God's church has anything to do with whether one is healed or not. Healing is not an indicator of righteousness. It is not a test of spirituality.

Going or not going to a physician is not a test of righteousness.
