Overview
Biblical miracles are divine interventions that transcend natural laws, performed by God through His servants to confirm His word and purposes. From Moses' miracles in Egypt to Jesus' signs and the apostolic wonders in Acts, miracles authenticate God's messengers and call people to faith in Him.
Key Scriptures
"To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles" (1 Corinthians 12:9-10, ESV).
"The magicians said to Pharaoh, 'This is the finger of God'" (Exodus 8:19, ESV).
"And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul" (Acts 19:11, ESV).
Application
Recognize that miracles authenticate God's word; pray expectantly while remembering that faith rests ultimately on Scripture, not signs alone.
