What role do signs and wonders play in the faith of Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Signs and wonders confirm the gospel message but are not the basis for faith.

In the context of Christian faith, signs and wonders serve a confirming role—they support and validate the message of the gospel but do not produce faith in and of themselves. Throughout Scripture, miraculous events occur in conjunction with the proclamation of God's word, illustrating that miracles are meant to point to and emphasize the truth of the gospel message. Jesus performed miracles not to compel faith through spectacle, but to demonstrate His divine authority and compassion. As such, while Christians may appreciate the significance of miracles in the biblical narrative, their faith must ultimately rest upon the revelation of Jesus Christ as presented through scripture rather than on experiences or signs alone.
