Are We Healed by Faith or Actions? Here’s the Answer
It has been one of the most debated topics for years: Are we saved by our faith in Christ, or by our actions?
In a TikTok video, Kelly K helped to answer this question by using the example of the woman with the issue of blood.

K points out that when Jesus saw the woman, He told her that her faith had made her well.
“So, let me ask you a question,” K starts. “When did she get healed?”
It may seem obvious to some that the woman was healed right when she touched Jesus’ robe. However, K notes that there may be more to this story.
“Then why didn’t Jesus say to her, ‘Go, I have just healed you. Go, my robe just healed you. Go, the Father healed you,'” k asks.
Instead, it was the faith that brought healing to the woman. So, when did the woman receive her healing? Perhaps there would have to be a faith moment that would change everything.
“The Bible teaches us that it’s our actions that complete our faith,” K says. “The moment that this woman received her healing wasn’t when she touched His robe. That’s when the healing manifested.”
That means, the woman received her healing when she thought and believed God could heal her.
So, when it comes to anything related to the kingdom of God, whether salvation, healing or miracles, we must have faith first and then put it into action, doing exactly as Christ has called us to do.
Faith is essential for seeing God’s presence manifested in the world around us, and our actions are required to match that level of faith.
