According to the Bible, all human suffering, hurt, and disease originated from the severance of our relationship with God. The first human beings, Adam and Eve, living in perfect harmony and fellowship with God, fell to sin due to the temptation of Satan, and they broke off their fellowship with God, and henceforth all human troubles resulted. As a result of this rupture of our relationship with God, the breaking off of all kinds of relationships; husband to wife, sibling to sibling, neighbor to neighbor followed with all human spiritual, mental, physical suffering, hurt, and disease.
The healing of all of these troubles begin with the restoration of our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ"s sacrifice is required for the redemption of our sins which caused the breaking off. Through the reconciliation of the sinful human beings with the holy God by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Satan and the devils dominating human beings with sins are to be cast out, and diseases are to be healed.
The life and suffering of Jesus Christ are main healing causes of human mental hurt. According to the Bible, Jesus Christ suffered the most in human history. He was rejected as the sinner bearing human beings" sins by the holy God, Father, betrayed by his disciple Judas, abandoned by his disciples, his own people (Israel), and even by gentiles, Roman political leaders and soldiers. The healing of mental hurt results from the working of the Holy Spirit and the consideration of Jesus Christ who suffered so many spiritual, mental, and physical hurts while we realize Jesus Christ"s love for us expressed through his sacrifice. The realization of Jesus Christ"s acceptance of us in suffering now leads to the restoration and healing of mental hurt. Furthermore, the person healed of mental hurts lead others who have similar hurts to healing as "the wounded healer.’
Jesus Christ also has suffered physical sufferings and hurts, which has the power to atone for our sins and to heal our diseases. Furthermore, through the experience of the love of God expressed by Jesus Christ"s sacrifice, human beings are led to love of God and the forgiveness, acceptance, and love toward other human beings, resulting in social healing. Moreover, in addition to the inner healing of the hurts, the Bible also says that by the changed attitude through the working of the Holy Spirit and by the life based on the God"s word, people mature to have indefatigable and undespairing personality not to be easily hurt in any circumstances.
As shown in the cases of the Bible and in the present life, many real cases of healing have been occurring. through the trust in Jesus Christ. This points to the fact that biblical inner healing is one of the most effective ways to heal the mental hurts and sufferings of present people in comparison with those of the other approaches like psychoanalysis healing, behavior healing, arts healing, dance healing, sleep healing, exercise healing and so on.
