What does the Bible say about atrophy?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible does not directly address atrophy, but it reveals Christ’s compassionate authority over bodily weakness and calls us to trust God in suffering. In Matthew 12:10-13, Jesus heals a man with a withered hand, showing that mercy is lawful and that the Lord is able to restore what human strength cannot. This miracle points beyond physical healing to our deeper need for salvation, since sin leaves us spiritually helpless apart from God’s grace. Christians may therefore pray earnestly for healing, seek wise medical care, and rest in Christ’s sovereign goodness whether restoration comes now or in the resurrection.
