The Purpose of Miracles

Purpose of Miracles Miracles in the Bible always unmistakably involved an immediate and powerful action of God and always served a purpose. Bible miracles could never be mistaken for a coincidence. Jesus, the apostles, those the apostles laid hands on, and Cornelius & his household were the only ones in the New Testament to work miracles. Consider the purpose of the miracles, who performed them, and whether we need them today. The purpose of the miracles, signs, and wonders was to confirm the word and to show that God does not show partiality (Acts Chapter 10). Both of those reasons have been fulfilled forever; therefore, miracles are no longer needed for those purposes.

2 Corinthians 12:12

Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

Acts 8:18

...through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given...

Acts 2:43

Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

Mark 16:20

And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them [the apostles] and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Hebrews 2:2-4

For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
