Does God Still Heal Today?

“Jesus doesn’t do miracles anymore.” These were my words in youth group when we discussed Jesus’ miracles and healings today. I hadn’t seen Jesus do these things as He did in the Bible, so I concluded: He must have stopped doing them. But is this biblical?

Many Christians have a similar mindset: they let their experience—or lack thereof—shape their theology about God’s Word. But this is backwards! We ought to let God’s Word shape our experience.

So, what does God’s Word say about healing? First of all, Jesus is the Word of God and the exact representation of God the Father in Scripture:

Hebrews 1:3 says, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.”

Jesus also said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” (John 14:9). Jesus healed all who came to Him and “went around healing all who were oppressed by the devil.” (Acts 10:38).

He healed back then—so has He changed? The Bible clearly states in Malachi 3:6, “For I, the Lord, do not change […],” and again in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

You might wonder, “Then why don’t I see Jesus healing people today as much?”. This was my own question, too. And believe me—there are answers!

Before we dive into those answers in the next days—where you’ll learn how God can use you to heal others in His name—let’s study the Scriptures that set the foundation: God does still heal.

The real question is: Are you ready to learn what the Bible says about becoming God’s vessel for healing in other people’s lives?
