God heals our spiritual sickness through the sovereign work of Christ, who commands life to the dead.
The healing of spiritual sickness is a sovereign act of God, executed through the work of Jesus Christ. As stated in John 11, Jesus did not just heal Lazarus physically; he demonstrated His authority over death and sin, asserting that He is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). When someone is spiritually dead in sin, it is the sovereign call of Christ that brings them to life. He commands, and the dead come forth, showcasing that salvation is entirely God's work, separate from any human effort (Ephesians 2:1). This signifies that our transformation is not merely a therapeutic process but a resurrection where sinners are made alive by grace. Thus, the healing is comprehensive—covering both our immediate spiritual needs and our eternal destiny.
