What does the Bible say about the works Christians can do?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christians can do greater works than Jesus because of their faith in Him.

In John 14:12, Jesus promises that those who believe in Him will do the works that He does and even greater works because He goes to the Father. This promise signifies that the greater works refer not to individual miraculous acts but to the extensive conversions and spread of the Gospel achieved through the ministry of the Apostles, as recorded in the Book of Acts. For instance, on the day of Pentecost, three thousand were converted in one day, which was a greater impact than Christ had during His earthly ministry. Hence, believers are encouraged to trust in Christ's intercession and to believe that, despite their weaknesses, they can expect significant outcomes in their ministry.
