Neat spiritual learning in school

In my Life and Teaching's of Jesus class, I read an article about Jesus' miracles. The article says "While the verb, "to heal" (in Greek) is the most frequent verb, another major term is the verb, "to save", which means, "to make sound or whole". This tells me that though believing in Jesus as your savior is crucial to going to heaven. Being saved also means growing into Christ-likeness by stopping sin. This growth is called sanctification. This growing is what "to make sound or whole" means. It means being healed from sin and being made fully whole it is like a medical process.
