How does Jesus heal our spiritual sickness?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus heals our spiritual sickness by taking our sin upon Himself and granting us His righteousness.

Jesus, as the Great Physician, heals our spiritual sickness through His atoning sacrifice on the cross. 1 Peter 2:24 explicitly states, 'Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.' This highlights the transfer of our spiritual disease—sin—onto Christ, who bore its penalty on our behalf. In return, believers receive His righteousness, as emphasized in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states, 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' This exchange is crucial for understanding how we are made whole and justified before God.
