What does the Bible say about miracles and faith?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible indicates that miracles do not produce genuine faith; faith comes through hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

Miracles and signs, while important as confirmations of God's messengers, do not inherently create faith in people. The scripture teaches us that genuine faith arises from the Word of God, as stated in Romans 10:17, 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.' Even those who witnessed miracles during biblical times often remained unconverted. For example, the Israelites who saw the plagues and traversed the Red Sea later rebelled against God and experienced judgment. Thus, it's clear that while God performed many wonders, these acts were not intended to produce faith but to testify to God's power and authority.
