What does the Bible say about miracles?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that miracles are mighty works of God that reveal his power, confirm his word, display Christ’s authority, and call people to faith and worship. Scripture praises God as the one who performs wonders, as Psalm 77:14 declares. Jesus taught that nothing is impossible with God and rebuked unbelief, while also warning that people may seek signs without trusting him, as John 4:48 shows. In Acts, miracles such as the healing in Acts 3:16 confirmed the name of the risen Christ and accompanied the apostles’ witness. God may still act extraordinarily according to his sovereign wisdom, yet believers rest chiefly in the completed gospel and seek faith in Christ rather than demanding signs.
