How do you think of today's Christian miracles? Are they not the works
of the Spirit? I think the Holy Spirit still works in God's church.
On your inquiry on the issue of today's Christian
miracle, you are right partially.
But you have to remind that all divine miracles are to give people the
faith in Jesus Christ (John 2:11). In other words, the Lord allows miracles
in order to let people have faith in Jesus Christ.
We can find many miracles that had been performed by the Apostles and
the disciples of Jesus, especially in the Book of Acts. Through the miracles,
they could testify their faith in the truth that Jesus is God, He took
all our sins through His baptism, and He died to compensate all our sins
by shedding Hid blood on the Cross.
But, after completing the written Word of God. God Father wants us to
obey His Word rather than seeking for the miraculous evidences. This is
why the Bible states, "Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies,
they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there
is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy
in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in
part will be done away" (1 Corinthians 13:8-10).
Jesus said to one of His disciples, "Thomas, because you have seen
Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed" (John 20:29) .
True faith is not based on the miracles you have experienced, but on the
Word of God you have already received from the Lord.
