Why is faith important in healing according to Acts?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in the name of Jesus is central to healing, as demonstrated in Peter's healing of the lame man.

In Acts 3, the healing of the lame man is directly tied to faith—in particular, faith in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Peter explicitly states that it is faith in Jesus that made this man strong. This emphasizes that healing is not merely about the act itself but is intrinsically linked to belief in Christ as the source of power and redemption. True faith recognizes our own limitations and places trust not in ourselves, but in the resurrected Christ who alone can bring healing and wholeness. Thus, faith becomes the conduit through which God’s miraculous works are manifested in our lives.
