What does the Bible say about being whole in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that true wholeness is found in knowing God and being restored to His image through Christ.

In John 5, Jesus encounters a man crippled for thirty-eight years, asking him, 'Wilt thou be made whole?' This poignant question probes deeper than physical health; it challenges the individual to desire wholeness that surpasses mere physical restoration. To be made whole means to be restored morally and spiritually to what God intended for humankind. It echoes the condition of the first Adam before the fall, where one's will is fully aligned with God's. True wholeness is thus defined by a relationship with God and a life of obedience to His will, echoing John 17:3, which states that eternal life consists in knowing God and Jesus Christ whom He sent.
