Christ heals spiritually by granting regeneration and faith, allowing believers to see His glory.
The spiritual healing Christ offers is significant and transformative. In the account of the blind man in John 9, after experiencing physical healing, it is crucial to note that the man also receives spiritual insight when he encounters Jesus again. This indicates that Christ not only has the power to heal but also to regenerate the heart and open the eyes of faith. The true nature of healing transcends mere physical restoration; it touches on regeneration, where God gives a person a new heart and the ability to see and understand spiritual truths. This aligns with the teachings of sovereign grace, where salvation is wholly dependent on God’s action in the believer’s life.
