What does the Bible say about miracles wrought through servants of god?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that God may work mighty signs through His servants, yet the power and glory belong to Him alone, confirming His word and calling people to faith and obedience. Through Moses, the Lord turned a staff into a serpent, gave and removed leprosy from his hand, and provided further signs so Israel would know that the God of their fathers had appeared to him (Exodus 4:3-9). Moses and Aaron then performed these signs before the people and before Pharaoh (Exodus 4:30; 7:10). The plagues, including the waters turned to blood and the frogs brought upon Egypt, showed God's sovereign judgment and His faithfulness to redeem His covenant people (Exodus 7:20; 8:6, 13).
