Faith That Saves
Jesus says, "Your faith has made you whole." Commentators like John Calvin and John Gill explain that this faith was not merely a hope for healing, but a specific trust in Jesus as the promised Messiah. They argue the word for "made whole" also means "saved," indicating that Bartimaeus received not only physical sight but also spiritual salvation, illustrating the principle of justification by faith.
