What is the significance of 'wilt thou be made whole' in salvation?

'Wilt thou be made whole?' is a profound question reflecting the heart of salvation. It indicates that while we are powerless to save ourselves, God requires an acknowledgment of our need for His grace. The sermon points out that when Jesus asked this question to the impotent man, He was not inquiring about the man’s ability, but his willingness to accept healing on God’s terms. This illustrates that salvation requires humility and readiness to receive God’s sovereign work in our lives. Are we willing to surrender our self-reliance and trust solely in Christ's power? This underscores the Reformed emphasis on grace as an unearned gift, prompting a response of faith and submission to the Lord.
