How do we know that miracles don't save?

Answered in 1 source

Miracles, as noted in Scripture, do not lead to genuine faith or salvation; instead, it is through the preaching of the gospel that people are saved.

The assertion that miracles do not save is rooted in the teachings of Jesus, illustrated in John’s Gospel, particularly in John 11-12. Despite witnessing miracles like the resurrection of Lazarus, many still did not believe in Christ. Our Lord emphasized that it is the Holy Spirit that convinces the heart of sin, righteousness, and judgment—not signs or wonders. The Scriptures underscore the importance of the truth of the gospel in bringing salvation while expressing that mere eyewitness accounts or emotional testimonies without the underlying truth will not bring about true faith. A faith founded on miracles is shaky, as seen in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, where those who reject the love of the truth are led astray.
