God’s love brings healing because He has a true father’s heart, one full of compassion, understanding, and a desire for our health and wholeness. Therefore, being healed and whole has always been God’s heart for us, His precious children. Furthermore, Jesus understands what life is like for us because He went through these things also, i.e., temptation, disappointment, suffering, weariness, grief and sorrow, rejection, loneliness, etc.
God sent His Son Jesus because of His love for us (John 3:16; 1 John 3:16). Through the fall of humankind in the Garden of Eden, we lost everything. However, Jesus recovered all through His atonement (the reconciliation of humanity to God). Sin, death, disease, and poverty are part of the curse that Christ redeemed us from through His atonement on the cross. Healing is part of God’s redemptive plan. Everything that Jesus obtained for us through the cross is available to us. He took our sins, sicknesses, diseases, and infirmities upon His own body to bring us healing spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, and relationally (Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24).
Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). We don’t have to see or understand everything that happens in our lives at the moment, but we can look to Jesus and trust that God is good, He is good at being God, and He will work all things out for good for those who believe and follow Him (Romans 8:28). When we truly know and believe that God loves us, we can trust Him with our lives and in any situation or circumstance that we may find ourselves.
