'...this is what Christ illustrated when he healed the sick in his ministry on earth that men might see, as in an object-lesson - that provision was made in his substitionary work for the relief of every human ill. There is included in this, however, no promise that this relief is to be realized in its completeness all at once, or in this earthy life. Our Lord never permitted it for a moment to be imagined that the salvation he brought was fundamentally for this life. His was emphatically an other-world religion. He constantly pointed to the beyond, and bade men find their true home, to set their hopes, and to place their aspirations, there.'
BB Warfield, 'Is Christ Our Sickness-Bearer?' in Nancy Guthrie (Ed.), O Love That Will Not Let Me Go, p.41.
