God came with the great news that He has the power to heal us as the faith He grants us works in us.
Bartimaeus showed great faith when Jesus passed by and he called out to Him. Jesus acknowledged that faith as the means of His salvation, which brought him sight. And it was that same faith that urged Him on to follow Jesus in a new way of life. He threw aside his cloak, which represented much of everything he had, to embrace the God Who loves all of us so much, and to fixate His life on a relationship with Him.
So while we were once dead in sins, we have been brought alive so gloriously through the great work of our High Priest, Jesus Christ, Who restores us fully. It is by faith that we embrace a relationship with, recognizing that being in His life-giving presence is enough for us.
