♥ Do You Believe In Miracles?

I know that YOU can do everything, and that no purpose of YOURS can be withheld from YOU, (Job 42:2).
Why should it be thought incredible by you that GOD raises the dead, (Acts 26:8).

In 1937 the brilliant physicist, Max Planck, dared to assert: "Belief in miracles must give way to the constant advancement and the irreversible forces of science". Many share this point of view today, thinking that if someone believes in miracles, it is because he is ignorant of the laws of nature.

In fact, the very opposite is true: the first Christians knew very well that when someone has died, he does not come back to life. They were aware of the natural law of biological death. But they saw and heard the risen JESUS CHRIST. So they confirmed the fundamental miracle of Christianity.

It is honest to ask the question: "Is there a GOD? " when the progress of scientific research only proves more and more the extraordinary, admirable complexity of all that exists? This all has necessarily a Creator who withholds the secrets of its coherence, (Romans 1 : 20). And if there is a GOD who created everything: matter, reason, time, space and all the laws of nature, then miracles are possible. GOD is free to intervene in HIS creation. HE does so through the laws of nature and in exceptional cases, through miracles. ALL IS SUBJECT TO HIS AUTHORITY. ALL! Even the demons shudder at the thought of hearing that NAME which is above all names.

What was the greatest miracle? It was the miracle of love. GOD became Man in JESUS CHRIST, who then died on the cross to save all who put their faith in HIM from death and judgment. But HE was resurrected and now HE lives for ever and ever. And HE answers the prayers of those who trust in HIM.
