Why is faith in Jesus more important than seeking signs?

The demand for signs from Jesus, as noted in Matthew 12:38-39, reflects a misunderstanding of true faith. Jesus emphasizes that this generation seeks after signs but that the only sign given is that of Jonah, which points to His resurrection. Authentic faith is rooted in the Word of God, not in signs or wonders. In 1 Corinthians 1:22, it is stated that Jews seek signs, and Greeks seek wisdom, but true saving faith acknowledges Christ's death and resurrection as sufficient proof of His divinity and authority. When believers looks solely to Christ and His Word, they find the remarkable truth of salvation, realizing that faith is a sovereign gift from God, accomplished by His Spirit.
