Jan 4, 2022 · Clearly, bringing someone back from the dead is not beyond God’s power today: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Since God is still capable of raising the dead, yes, raising the dead is still possible today. A much more involved question is whether raising the dead actually occurs today.

Think about the Old Testament. Here’s a typical statement: the psalmist says in Psalm 77:11, “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.” When you read the Old Testament, you realize most of the saints in most of those centuries would have talked like that: “The wonders of old. Oh, remember the wonders of old.”...
When it comes to the New Testament, it is gloriously true that Jesus did miracles perfectly and consistently, though even he raised only three people from the dead and didn’t heal people in many places where he traveled or where he didn’t travel. The miracles of Jesus were clearly not to show that the kingdom had been consummated. They showed that ...
When you turn to the book of Acts and the rest of the New Testament, it’s obvious that the apostles did some astonishing miracles, but it’s also true that they suffered much and their colleagues got sick. Paul carried a doctor around with him. They got thrown into prison. They got killed. Even though there were gifts of miracles and gifts of healin...
The second observation I would make is that there are probably more miracles happening today than we realize. If we could collect all the authentic stories all over the world — from all the missionaries and all the saints in the all the countries of the world, all the cultures of the world — if we could collect all the millions of encounters betwee...
The third observation I would make, and this is probably what I would say to the unbeliever who is challenging me, is that the heart of Christianity is not that the kingdom has fully come and all sin and evil is being overcome now in this age. The heart of Christianity is that Christ Jesus, the Son of God, came into the world at a point in history ...
Feb 2, 2024 · A: From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham. Theologians have debated for centuries about God’s absolute control over everything versus mankind’s freedom to act on its own. The question people long to have answered is whether everything that happens to us is already determined by God.
Feb 6, 2023 · It’s certainly not because of the power of the believer, but the power of God. The power mentioned in Ephesians 1:19–20 is continually attributed to God, not us. It is God’s power that accomplishes the many miracles of redemption mentioned in Ephesians 1. Without God’s power, these things would not be possible (see Luke 18:26–27).
6 days ago · When we rely on God’s power, we can face any situation with confidence, knowing that He will provide stability and support. It reminds us that God’s power is not transient but everlasting. 1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
There is a range of answers to that question. One answer is that Christ is delaying His coming, so to speak, in order to give people an opportunity to repent. The second is that Christ came into the world to overcome sin, to overcome death, and to overcome Satan, but He also came into the world so that sin, death, and Satan would be overcome in ...

Mar 17, 2012 · The reality of the sovereignty of God and the infallible power of his action may be considered under three main headings, namely, creation, redemption, and judgment. 1. Creation. All things were created and brought into existence by the will of God (Rev. 4:11; Eph. 3:9; Gen. 1:1). As the maker is master of what he has made, so God is sovereign ...
