Christ, who was born under the law to redeem us, bore its curse and therefore did redeem us from all sickness and disease. Here it is stated that it was on the cross that Jesus redeemed us from the law’s curse.

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
