What does the Bible say about the demand for signs from God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes a generation that demands signs as wicked and adulterous, seeking proof rather than faith.

In Matthew 12:39, Jesus responds to the demand for signs, stating that a wicked and adulterous generation looks for signs, but the only sign given is that of the prophet Jonah. This reflects a lack of faith, as the people wanted continuous evidence instead of trusting in the word of God that had been revealed to them. The emphasis is on believing the Gospel and the truth of Christ without the need for miraculous signs, which merely points to the deeper issue of an unregenerate heart that is grasping for tangible proof rather than relying on God's declarations through Scripture.
