The healing in Acts 3 serves as a testament to God's power, leading us to trust that His ability to heal persists today.
The miracle of healing in Acts 3, where Peter commands a lame man to rise and walk, provides us with a glimpse into the character of God as a healer. While the miraculous healings of the early church were unique to that period, they affirm God's capability to intervene in human circumstances. The nature of healing in the Bible often corresponds with God's sovereignty and His gracious will for His people. While today’s healings may not always align with the dramatic narrative of Acts, they encourage believers to pray with expectation, trusting in God’s ultimate authority over sickness and suffering, acknowledging that He does heal according to His perfect wisdom and timing.
