How do we know that Paul was protected by God in Malta?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's survival from a venomous snake bite demonstrates God's protective power over him.

The incident on Malta where Paul is bitten by a viper serves as a potent illustration of divine protection. The locals initially assume Paul's misfortune results from his wrongdoings, but when he suffers no harm, they are led to believe he is a god. This miraculous survival underscores God's providential care, affirming that He exercises authority over nature and human fate. Such occurrences highlight the truth that God employs even dangerous situations to reveal His glory and strengthen the faith of both His servants and those who witness His power. This aligns with the understanding of God's sovereignty in all aspects of life.
