How do we know that the healing mentioned in Isaiah is spiritual?

Answered in 1 source

The healing in Isaiah is understood to be spiritual because it addresses sin as a disease that requires divine intervention.

Isaiah 53:5 uses the phrase 'with his stripes we are healed' to convey the idea of spiritual healing through Christ's atonement. Many misuse this verse to suggest physical healing; however, the message underlines the healing of sin, which is portrayed as a more profound affliction affecting mankind's very nature. The Bible consistently equates sin with disease and recognizes that true healing cannot be achieved by human means. It affirms that only through Christ's sacrifice can we be healed spiritually, thus aligning with the historical Reformed understanding of sin and redemption.
