The Bible demonstrates that God employs means, such as preaching and personal encounters with Christ, in the process of saving individuals.
The miracle of healing the blind man in John 9 shows us that God uses tangible means to enact His grace. Jesus applied clay to the man's eyes and instructed him to wash in the Pool of Siloam. This action emphasizes that while God is sovereign, He often utilizes specific methods to fulfill His divine purposes. The healing process not only highlights God's power over physical afflictions but also illustrates that He works through the gospel proclamation and the obedience of faith. Ultimately, it is God's power that brings about spiritual healing and sight, demonstrating His authority and care in the act of salvation.
