God heals the sick because He is the Almighty God. He is the doctor of doctors and can remove all kinds of diseases from our bodies. In the Bible, we see many stories where God heals His children.
We see that God loves us, and He loves us so much that He frees us from our sicknesses and diseases. In one story in the Old Testament, we see God healing King Hezekiah. When King Hezekiah was very sick, he prayed to God from his heart. God heard his prayer and healed him and added fifteen years to his life. From this story, we can learn that God hears our prayers and He can heal us.
When Jesus was on earth, He healed countless people. He gave the lame the power to walk, the blind the sight, healed lepers, and even raised the dead. By performing all these miracles, Jesus proved that He is God. So if we pray to Jesus to be free from sickness, He will surely answer us and heal us.
After Jesus returned to heaven, his disciples healed many people as they preached the gospel to the people. God healed people through his disciples. Now, if we turn to Jesus and pray for healing, he will heal us and bless us with a new life free from disease.
