How do we know the Holy Spirit is a sovereign good for healing?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit is likened to healing oil, which not only softens hard hearts but also searches and heals hidden sin within us.

The healing nature of the Holy Spirit is vividly depicted through the metaphor of oil, as seen in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:34). Just as oil was applied to wounds for healing, the Holy Spirit penetrates the inner recesses of our hearts to reveal and cleanse us from sin. In Isaiah 61:1, we see the Spirit was upon Christ specifically to heal the brokenhearted and set captives free. This theme is coupled with the assurance that the Holy Spirit abides within believers to continuously perform this restorative work, drawing us closer to God's will and purifying our consciences.
