The Bible teaches that being made whole means receiving healing and restoration from Christ, acknowledging our dependence on His mercy.
The concept of being made whole is deeply illustrated in John 5:1-9, where Jesus asks a crippled man at the pool of Bethesda if he wishes to be healed. This question signifies not just physical healing but spiritual wholeness that comes through faith in Christ. The healing performed by Jesus is a symbol of the spiritual restoration He offers, showing that without Him, we are powerless and dependent on His grace for true healing. This wholeness encompasses emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects, highlighting the need for believers to rely on God's mercy rather than their own works.
