Subject: Are miracles for today? |
Bible Note: Miracle: 1)an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs 2 : an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment I concur completely with your perspective of Jesus sacrifice for us. With that in mind, my last comments were my deepest concern regarding the emphasis on "miracles" today. Are they a solid basis for faith? I think not. A true and accurate understanding of the ransom is. Faith follows the thing heard, not seen. Rom 10:17:Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. 2 Tim 1:13: What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. 2 Cor 4:18: So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. I'm looking forward to some undeniable miracles in the future when Jesus 'destroys the ungodly men' at Armaggedon. Then the "sea" of wicked mankind will be gone, and 'God will encamp with us after all suffering and death have been eliminated.' (2 Pet 3:7; Isa 57:20; Rev 21:1-4) Such a Promised Land is for men of faith like Joshua and Calib, not the cowardly 10 spies. May we as mature Christians continue to build such a firm foundation on Christ. |
