HEALING AND COVENANT IN EXODUS 15:26 AND ITS RELEVANCE TO CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN HEALTH AND WELLNESS

The chapter examines the biblical idea found in Exodus 15:26 that links healing and covenant, which has significant ramifications for modern Christian health and wellness. It examines the theological ramifications of the covenant in Exodus 15:26, assesses how they influence contemporary Christian perspectives on health and wellness and makes helpful suggestions for incorporating biblical covenant ideas into medical procedures. The study uses a qualitative methodology that combines a survey of recent Christian health and wellness literature with an exegetical exegesis of Exodus 15:26. The approach entails a thorough textual exegesis to dissect the covenantal conditions and promises mentioned in the passage, as well as a comparative examination of how these promises are represented in contemporary Christian wellness and health practices. According to the study, Exodus 15:26 presents divine healing as a promise and a need to uphold covenantal loyalty. There is a gap between biblical teachings and practical health methods in contemporary Christian health and wellness practices because these activities frequently ignore this covenantal component. Christian health programs should incorporate the covenantal aspects of Exodus 15:26, on covenant faithfulness as the foundation for health and wellness, integrate spiritual practices with physical health strategies, and covenantal principles to increase the relevance of biblical teachings in modern health and wellness practices.
