How do we know that Jesus has the power to make us whole?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrated His power through miracles, including healing the sick, as illustrated in John 5.

The healing of the impotent man by the pool of Bethesda illustrates Christ's authority over physical ailments. Jesus singles out this man from the multitude, demonstrating His intimate knowledge and care for him. This act of healing, while physical, points to a larger truth about Jesus's power to heal spiritually and morally. As He asked the question, 'Wilt thou be made whole?' He was not only demonstrating His ability to mend the physical condition but was also indicating His role as Saviour who restores all aspects of a person—body, soul, and spirit. Additionally, the Gospel asserts that faith in Christ and His work is essential for being made whole, affirming that our restoration hinges upon His grace and power. Both the first and second Adams illustrate the necessity of Christ’s redemptive work for humanity's wholeness.
