What does the Bible say about needing a physician?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible illustrates that those who are spiritually sick need the great Physician, Jesus Christ, who offers healing and forgiveness.
In Mark 2:17, Jesus states, 'They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick.' This highlights the need for those who recognize their spiritual sickness and inability to come to Him for healing. Similar to physical ailments, our spiritual deadness requires an intervention that only Christ can provide. He addresses our need for forgiveness of sins as the real issue we face. Recognizing our need for a Savior is the first step towards the healing and redemption He offers.
