Salvation is a miracle as it involves the powerful work of God who transforms dead hearts into living ones through the gospel.
The miraculous nature of salvation is evident throughout Scripture, as it is solely the work of God to bring life to those who are spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-5). Just as Rebekah was barren and unable to bring forth life until God intervened through Isaac's prayers, so too are sinners unable to respond to God until He quickens them by His Spirit. When the Word of God is preached, it can pierce the heart and bring about a transformation that is akin to a miracle, changing hearts and opening eyes to the truth of the gospel. This underscores the truth that human effort cannot produce spiritual life; it is a gift from God (James 1:18).
