The following texts demonstrate that one can receive supernatural benefits through another person’s faith. (The hyperlinks will open an online NASB to the chapter referenced) Major Texts Matthew 8:13– Christ healed the Centurian’s Servant is through the Centurian’s Faith. Matthew 9:2 - Christ healed the paralytic through the faith of those who lowered him on a mat. Matthew 15:28– Christ healed the Canaanite girl through the faith of her mother. James 5:14-20– The anointing and prayer of the elders of the church heal the sick and absolve their sins. Christ’s healings outwardly manifest an interior cleansing of sin (See Matthew 9:5, Mark 2:9, James 5:15 1 Cor. 7:14– "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy." It is a biblical principle that God can produce spiritual healing in a person who does not possess personal Faith, but who is brought to the attention of the Lord by a believer.
