Why is it necessary for Jesus to perform miracles for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Miracles are essential for demonstrating God's power to save and transform lives.
The necessity of Jesus’ miracles goes beyond mere acts of compassion; they reveal the profound truth that salvation requires a divine transformation. As described in the sermon, it is not enough for individuals to simply be convinced or persuaded into faith—spiritual revival necessitates a miraculous work of God. Jesus emphasizes this by highlighting that salvation takes place when the strong man, representing Satan, is bound by one stronger. The importance of this is evident in the understanding that we, as sinners, are buried in spiritual death and need to be resurrected by Christ's empowering presence. Each miracle Jesus performed provides a tangible expression of the greater spiritual reality that he saves and delivers from sin and bondage through His divine power.
