What are signs?

Jesus turned water into wine in John 2:

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs [G4592] through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

G4592 occurs 77 times.

HELPS Word-studies:

Turning the water into wine revealed Jesus' glory. It achieved a specific purpose in the will of God.

John 5:

36 But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works I am doing--testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

Particularly the miraculous works.

John 10:

38 But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father."

John 14:

11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.

Miraculous works were signs and evidence to prove a supernatural point.

Paul performed miraculous healing to demonstrate that he was sent by Jesus.

Miracles are not performed to satisfy people's demands and curiosities.

Matthew 16:

Luke 23:

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him.

Herod didn't see any miracles from Jesus.

It is good to believe without seeing the miracles, John 20:

Today, does God still give us signs?

Yes, when he does, it is a miracle to demonstrate a specific purpose.

Hebrews 2:

4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

I made a post about miracles, as miracles are rare, and that we must put faith in the invisible first, above any miracles, as stated in Hebrews 1:11.


Hebrews 11:1 (NIV): "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

Faith > Miracles

Faith > Miracles

Hello folks. Today's study shows that faith is greater importance compared to miracles or proof. Date June 26, 2024 | Faith > Proof Verse Acts 8:18-23 (NIV): "When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money and said, ‘Give me also...
