What does the Bible say about signs and miracles?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that signs and miracles are not necessary for faith, as true belief stems from God, not from witnessing miracles.

In Matthew 12:38-40, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for seeking a sign, indicating that an 'evil and adulterous generation' desires such evidence. He points to the sign of the prophet Jonah, which foreshadows His own death and resurrection, asserting that the truth of the gospel does not need further validation through miracles. Throughout Scripture, including John 6 and 1 Corinthians 15, it is emphasized that believing in Christ and His resurrection fulfills the requirement for salvation, rather than witnessing miraculous acts. The truth of the gospel is self-evident and does not rely on physical signs.
