What does the Bible say about our need for healing?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that those who are spiritually sick and in need of healing come to Jesus, who received and healed them.
In Luke 9:11, we see that Jesus received those who needed healing. This reflects a fundamental truth within the gospel: it is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. Jesus's ministry was characterized by His compassion for those who recognized their spiritual need (Luke 4:18-19). Those who are aware of their sinfulness and need for mercy are the ones who are drawn to Christ, while those who believe themselves to be self-sufficient (like the Pharisees) remain distant from Him. The healing that Jesus provides is not just physical but also spiritual, addressing the deep-seated need for redemption and reconciliation with God.
