Why is faith in Jesus important for healing?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith in Jesus is crucial because it acknowledges Him as the source of healing and salvation.

In the case of both Jairus and the sick woman, their faith exemplifies the essential role belief plays in experiencing Christ's healing. Jairus fell at Jesus' feet, showcasing his earnest belief that Jesus could save his daughter (Luke 8:41-42). Similarly, the woman with the issue of blood believed that merely touching Jesus' garment would heal her (Luke 8:43). Faith acts as the conduit through which God's grace flows; it recognizes our inability to save or heal ourselves while entrusting our needs to Christ. This profound trust in Jesus informs us of the nature of true faith, which is less about the quantity of belief and more about the object of that belief—Jesus Christ Himself.
