Points to Get You There:
1) Salvation isn’t something we must wait and hope for. It’s a gift already given that we simply believe and receive. Rom. 10:9
2) The word saved is translated from the Greek word sozo which can also be translated wholeness and was used by Jesus to refer to healing. Mark 5:34
3) Because Jesus bore your sicknesses and diseases and paid the price for your healing, it belongs to you now.
Isa. 53:4-5 ("AMPC")
4) No matter how serious a condition you might be facing, God can deliver you from it if you will only believe. Mark 9:23
5) God has settled it forever: His will is for you to be saved, healed and whole. Mark 1:41

You remember the story. Determined to act on her faith, she pressed through the multitudes, and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment. When she did, exactly what she’d said came to pass.
"Straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?... And…the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague" (verses 29-30, 32-34).
The word whole that both Jesus and the woman used to refer to her healing is translated from the Greek word sozo. It means “to save; to keep safe; to make sound; to rescue from danger or destruction; to rescue from injury, or to save a suffering one from perishing.” It’s the same word used in Romans 10:9 to refer to the new birth!
