Is Satan the cause of
sickness?
There are, in certain Christian circles, people who believe that Satan causes all sickness. That is difficult to prove from the biblical record, especially in light of the fact that God, at times, initiated sickness. See, for example: Exodus 4:11; 2 Kings 15:5; Luke 1:19-20.
As a result of “The Fall” [see Genesis 3], we live in a cursed creation in which aging is the primary sickness of humanity. Living in a fallen world is, by far, the primary cause of sickness and death.
By the way, that is what makes heaven such a desirable place. John wrote, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” [Revelation 21:4].
