What does faith mean in relation to being made whole?
Answered in 1 source
Faith, particularly in Jesus Christ, is essential for spiritual wholeness and cleansing from sin.
The sermon concludes with the idea that while all ten lepers were physically cleansed, only one was made whole—a wholeness that signifies spiritual restoration. This wholeness stems from faith, not as a work of the individual but as a trust in the person of Jesus Christ. The healing of the leper illustrates that faith must have an object, and that object is Jesus—the only source of salvation. As declared in Ephesians 2:8-9, we are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that our righteous standing before God is solely based on Christ's merit, not our works. This underscores the importance of understanding faith correctly within the framework of sovereign grace theology.
