1 | Are miracles for today? | 1 Cor 13:8 | Country Girl | 132873 | ||
Although I'd like to agree with you in that a lost sinner becoming a child of God really is a wonderful thing it would be a tragic misunderstanding of the awesome Power and Majesty of our Lord to label this event as a miracle. In keeping with the spirit of the Forum and calling events from the Bible their true God-given names, we should NOT downgrade the meaning of something as powerful and evidence of Christianity as a miracle. In Bible times, both OT and NT, miracles was truly a wonderous event, one that was absolutely and unquestionably a supernatural event, one that absolutely COULD NOT be done without God's participation. So I'll agree child birth from a woman is a miracle. The very idea of an embryo growing into a fully developed child is truly a supernatural even. I'll agree when a person goes to the hospital and gets the proverbial last speech from his doctor and walks out of that hospital with a few months/years to live and no hope, that's tragic. But then, he walks in for a checkup later on and experiences full and complete remission, that is clearly a miracle. Let's not water down God's Word or insult God Almighty by calling anything less one of His Awesome Displays and Power and Majesty. Sorry, but I just had to throw in my two cents' worth into this discussion. Blessings on you, dear friend. Country Girl |

2 | Are miracles for today? | 1 Cor 13:8 | New Creature | 132902 | ||
THE MIRACLE OF NEW BIRTH "I watched a hairy caterpillar crawling on the ground. It slowly inched its way along, not making any sound. To me it looked quite ugly, and I thought, "I'd hate to be A worm-like creature such as that, who crawls painstakingly." But as I watched, it slowly found a limb, and held on tight, And spun a silk cocoon that kept it safely out of sight. And then one day it struggled to break free so it could fly, And I beheld a butterfly that rose up to the sky. Its beauty was spectacular, and now its wings could soar, For days of crawling in the dirt were gone forevermore. I pondered on the wonder of that glorious new birth, And thought of how the Lord looks down upon our sin-sick earth. We must resemble lowly worms who wallow in our sin, But that is why Christ came to earth, to save the souls of men. He wraps us in His loving arms, and writes our names above, And we become new creatures, born again by His great love. And someday we will leave this earth, and with our wings we'll fly With beautiful new bodies to our mansions in the sky. For God has wrought a miracle in those He chose to be His holy bride, to reign with Him through all eternity."
