Matthew 13:58diehard03 said:Quote:
From my reading of the Scriptures faith seemed required for healing. In fact, Jesus could not do as much in his home town because of lack of faith.
Jesus rewarded faith with healing several times, but we really don't know if he was going to refuse healing if they didn't. So, I don't think it was a requirement, but a blessing.
Also, you have the story of the girl raised from the dead. The family didn't have faith after she passes that Christ could save her.
Douay-Rheims Bible
"And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief."
Faith seems to be a prominent component, obviously our Faith doesn't limit God's abilities but he does seem to reward it.
