The BIBLE is a HISTORICAL DOCUMENT
The Bible is a historical account of God revealing Himself and His purpose to His people and the world. The Biblical manuscripts are accurate, reliable, and authentic in their presentations of the facts. The miracles recorded in the Bible are historical events which occurred in the lives of real people. (See the Is the Bible the Reliable Word ofGod? Study, and Luke 1:1-4, Acts 1:1-3,Hebrews 1:1-2, 11)
The miracles of the Bible were witnessed by men and women who were able to tell the truth, who were willing to tell the truth, and who would die for what they believed was the truth.
The miracles recorded by these individuals did occur in time-space history, by the power of a transcendent and immanent God. They were done that His truths might be revealed, His moral nature might be known, and to bring good into His creation.
The MIRACLES of CHRIST
Throughout the New Testament we find Jesus performing miracles: the water to wine, casting out demons, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, raising the dead, etc. Peter says of Jesus, "Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as yourselves know . . . " (Acts 2:22)
Jesus said, "Believe that I am the Father, and the Father in Me; otherwise believe on account of the works (miracles, signs, and wonders) themselves." (John 14:11)
In Matthew 12:38-41 Jesus was asked to perform a sign; His comment was, " . . . no sign shall be given to you but the sign of Jonah the prophet, for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and nights in the heart of the earth."
Here Jesus was speaking of the greatest sign He would
