In God's plan, physical and spiritual wholeness are intertwined, as seen in Exodus, where He reveals Himself as the Lord who heals. The Bible teaches that Jesus bore our sicknesses and infirmities on the cross, as stated in 1 Peter, and that through faith, believers can experience healing. James instructs elders to pray for the sick, anointing them with oil, and Jeremiah expresses trust in God's power to heal. According to 3 John, God's desire is for believers to prosper and be in good health, even as their souls prosper.
