How do we know Jesus has the authority to heal our spiritual ailments?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus has the authority to heal spiritually because He is God and fulfilled the requirements of the law for us.

The sovereignty and authority of Jesus Christ are revealed through His ability to heal and forgive sins. Isaiah 53:5 predicts that by His stripes, we are healed. This emphasizes not only Jesus’ power but His role as our substitute, bearing the punishment for our sins. His perfect life and vicarious death satisfy divine justice, allowing Him to heal the spiritual condition of those He chooses. As stated in Romans 1:16, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe, confirming that Jesus' authority comes from His divine nature and His redemptive work on the cross.
