What does the Bible say about gift of healing?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that healing is a gracious work of God, sometimes given through particular spiritual gifts, always according to his wisdom and for the good of Christ's church. In 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, Paul names gifts of healing among the Spirit's diverse gifts and stresses that no believer possesses every gift. James 5:14-15 calls the sick to seek the elders' prayer, trusting the Lord to raise them up as he wills. God reveals himself as the healer in Exodus 15:26, while Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24 point most deeply to Christ's saving work, which heals us from sin and reconciles us to God. Christians should pray boldly for bodily healing while resting in God's sovereign care.
