Exodus 15:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 15:25

23 Now when they came to ^aMarah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called¹ Marah.

24 And the people ^acomplained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

25 So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. ^aWhen he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He ^bmade a statute and an ordinance for them, and there ^cHe tested them,

26 and said, ^a“If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the ^bdiseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord ^cwho heals you.”

27 ^aThen they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.

Exodus 15:25-26

Like the grace God bestows upon His people, these health blessings are conditional and require submission to His holy laws and statutes. Healing, which Jesus Christ deliberately associated with forgiveness of sins (referencing Matthew 9:5 and Luke 5:23) is also conditional, dependent upon unconditionally submitting to His laws, judgments, ordinances, decrees, and precepts. Knowing God’s law and acknowledging its value is not good enough—we must be actively keeping and doing it.

Exodus 15:22-26

That is a very clear promise of healing and of protection from those diseases. But notice the conditional "if . . . then" construction of this promise. We have to heed Him, it says—meaning listen and obey Him. And we have to do what is right—meaning we have to live righteously.
