How do we know that miracles affirm Christ's authority?

Answered in 1 source

Miracles in the New Testament, particularly through the apostles, affirm Christ's authority by demonstrating His power and fulfillment of prophecy.

Miracles serve as divine signs that affirm the authority of Christ and His apostles. In Acts 3, the healing of the lame man is a prime example of such a miracle that drew attention to the power of the name of Jesus. Peter emphasized in verse 16 that it was 'His name, through faith in His name, hath made this man strong.' The miracles performed by Jesus and later by His apostles not only fulfill Old Testament prophecies but also confirm the transition from the old covenant of Judaism to the new covenant established through Christ. This attests to His messianic identity and ongoing work through the Church, inviting all to believe in Him.
