My brother, may I remind you that NO ONE in all of recordered history tsaw more miracles than did the Israelite that came out of Egypt. God performed great miracles. He turned water to blood, He parted the Red Sea, fed the people with angel food, allowed the people to wear the same shoes for 40 years. He brought water out of a rock! Did that increase their faith in God?????
NO!
Many people desire miracles from God. They want God to perform miracles to “prove” Himself to them. “If only God would perform a miracle, sign, or wonder, then I would believe!” This idea, though, is contradicted by Scripture. When God performed amazing and powerful miracles for the Israelites, did that cause them to obey Him? No, the Israelites constantly disobeyed and rebelled against God even though they saw all the miracles.
The same people who saw God part the Red Sea later doubted whether God was able to conquer the inhabitants of the Promised Land.
This truth is explained in
Luke 16:19-31. In the story, a man in hell asks Abraham to send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brothers. Abraham informed the man, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead” in Luke16
:31.
Jesus performed countless miracles, yet the vast majority of people did not believe in Him. If God performed miracles today as He did in the past, the result would be the same. People would be amazed and would believe in God for a short time. That faith would be shallow and would disappear the moment something unexpected or frightening occurred.
IMHO, faith based on miracles is not a mature faith. God performed the greatest “God miracle” of all time in coming to earth as the Man Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins
Romans 5:8 so that we could be saved
John 3:16. God does still perform miracles—many of them simply go unnoticed or are denied. However, we do not need more miracles. What we need is to believe in the miracle of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
