Treating Physical and Spiritual Wounds

If you incur a physical injury, your condition will deteriorate and may become life-threatening if you don’t seek proper medical attention. That is true for spiritual wounds as well.

Being Whole

Paul was not healed of his affliction, but he was spiritually whole in Jesus Christ.
