The Purpose of Miracles
Summary
R.C. Sproul argues that biblical miracles are clustered around key moments to verify the legitimacy of God’s messengers, not to prove His existence. He highlights how miracles attended Moses, Elijah, and Jesus to authenticate their roles in delivering God’s Word. This pattern underscores that miraculous signs serve to validate divine revelation rather than occur randomly throughout history.
