Bible Verses About Healing

I believe that God is Healer. Even one of His Hebrew names is Jehovah Rapha which means The Lord That Heals. And I also believe what Hebrews 13:8 says…

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

God is still healing today! I’ve witnessed healings and miracles with my own eyes and have experienced in my own body.

If you are in need of healing, or someone you care about does, or if you really want to know what the Bible says about healing. Then please check out the Bible verses below.

They only paint a small piece of the painting, but if you read and study the scripture as a whole you will see a beautiful painting that God is our Healer.

An amazing book on the topic is Christ the Healer by F.F Bosworth. He goes through scripture and shares how Christ’s sacrifice paid for our healing.

If you are interested in learning more about the topic of healing in the Bible then I highly recommend that book as well.

I don’t want to write a ton here since this topic is about Bible verses on healing. Perhaps in the near future, I will write more about God as our healer.
