A Time to Kill and Heal

When we come to verse 3 where it says that there is a time to kill and a time to heal, we find that we are dealing with a subject which is hard for those who are not trusting in God, not to take issue with; those who are not believing in all of His Word the Bible. Is there really a time to kill? Isn’t every time of every day, a time to heal? Well, we want to examine this verse in the same way that I examined verse 2 the last time that we were together. I will attempt to take these verses and to briefly distinguish each subject in relation to God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. In this way, we will better understand what God would have us to do to glorify him in this life. In doing this I hope that you will see that killing and breaking down are describing the same thing; and that healing and building up are referring to the same thing. They are 2 descriptions of the same thing being referred to, in ways that complement one another.
