What you sow, you have to reap. Not Punishment Firstly, it must be said that people born with disabilities are not being punished for past sins. In other words the man's disability was not the result of past personal sin. The Apostle Paul reminded the proud Corinthians that anything they had was a gift of God, not something they deserved. And they were, when he was converted to Christ.
Many disabled people are an inspiration and example to others.
They also give others the opportunity to glorify God in giving them loving care. No Second Chance Fourthly, the Bible rejects the idea of reincarnation and second chances. I think we make mistakes when we are down here and our spirit has to come back and learn. But it won't be back here on this earth. It will be in heaven or hell.
