Bible Question: What do you say to a person who says, "It's "harder" to be saved in these last days than it was back in the Bible days, because back in the Bible days, there was alot more miracle, signs and wonders being performed by God and His messengers than it is today. I'm not saying that I have to see signs in order to believe that there is a God, but miracles are a great ways of proving the existence of God. Just look at the incident where Moses parted the red sea, If something like that was to happen today, alot more people would be followers of Christ."

Bible Answer: Dear humility,

I would encourage that person to read his or her Bible. And remind them that all but less then can be counted on your fingers, died in the wilderness because; although God had shown them not only the parting of the Red Sea, but many, many signs and wonders! God was with them on a daily bases, and by the pillar of fire that lighted their way by night, and the pillar of cloud that was with them and led them every day. Not to mention the Manna for their food and the Rock that miraculously poured forth water! And those are just a few, there were also the plagues He put on Egypt and more. Tell them to read the book of Exodus and then they will know these things. And encourage them to stop watching heretic telivangelists.

But they perished in the desert because of their unbelief. Tell your friend that is not what the Bible says, tell them the Bible says that: It is by the Word of Truth that men are saved, not by signs and wonders. And tell them: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Rom 1:16.

"In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," Eph 1:13

It is not by signs and wonders, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working through the Word of Truth, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that mens souls are saved!

John
