The answer is NO... He wants us to heed His Word and Live an abundant life.. but we CHOOSE to be captive to sin and God has warned us that Sin brings forth sickness, dis-ease and death..
Choose life which is by receiving Christ to indwell your heart and LIVE..... for if the Word(The Light, Jesus) abides in your heart then you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh that causes us to sin(fall for temptations to live in Darkness) which must be dealt with and bring's forth God's judgment as He warned us of the consequences of our actions. Darkness(sin) separates us from God who is LIGHT and causes SPIRITUAL thereby PHYSICAL Death for darkness can not know the Spirit of God. If you do truly have the Word abiding in your heart then your body should be becoming healthier and healthier for the Word of God is Spirit and Life. Our bodies are still the same as those in the old testament who lived for hundreds of years up to 900 and beyond. We die early because of the sins of the world be it living an ungodly life or due to other's sins of creating chemicals that destroy our bodies which we find in everything from pharmakea/medications and cleansers to atomic bombs.
We may not be able to avoid the chemicals in the world but we can certainly keep allowing that flesh man to be burned off and cut away as in our daily sacrifice of SELF Centeredness to live FOR The Word doing what he said is good. We may stumble in our new walk of spiritual life, but because of the work Jesus did on the cross, we can repent and get back up as our loving Father takes our hand to help us back up when we preserver so that we eventually learn how not to FALL(SIN) NO MORE.
Jesus said Go and sin no more least a worse thing come upon you.
John 5:14
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
KJV
John 8:11-12
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
KJV
We only loose the battle when we turn back to Egypt or refuse to get back up and mover FORWARD in Christ till the Word is our Lord aka authority to LIVE BY and sin has no more control over us for we have overcome.
What is the importance of overcoming our carnal nature that leads us to sin against man and God?
Only everything that you have been hoping for in the promises of God to those who take God... AT HIS WORD..In the beginning was The Word.:

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

KJV
Rev 3:4-6
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
KJV
Rev 3:11-12
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
KJV

God can not use those who are disobedient for disobedience is death... He is the God of the LIVING, not of the Dead.
Matt 22:32
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
KJV
There is no sickness or disease in the kingdom of God that is why FLESH AND BLOOD can not enter into the kingdom of God for they are still lead of their fleshly lusts being still in darkness tempted to sin and can not obey the Spirit of God to live in the Light for a life of PEACE and wholeness.
It is a process, so do not throw in the towel.. fight the good fight of faith to find your path out of the wilderness and on the road to eternal life in Christ Jesus.. the LIVING Word of the LIVING God.
Always pray FOR the Peace of Jerusalem... to come into your life.
