How do we know that Jesus can make us whole?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus can make us whole because He has the authority to command and the power to heal.

Jesus' authority is evident in how He approached the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda. When He asked, 'Wilt thou be made whole?', it was not merely an inquiry but an invitation backed by divine authority. In John 5:21, Jesus states that the Son gives life to whom He will, emphasizing that the act of making someone whole is a deliberate act of His sovereign choice. This is consistent with the doctrine of sovereign grace, which teaches that God is the one who initiates salvation and healing. Hence, Jesus' ability to heal physically reflects His capability in providing spiritual wholeness as well, illustrating that He is fully able to save those who trust in Him.
