Why should Christians believe the Word of God over visible miracles?
Answered in 1 source
Christians are called to prioritize faith in the Word of God, which provides the truth about salvation and God's character.
Believers are encouraged to ground their faith not in the pursuit of miracles but in the truth found in the Word of God. As evidenced in the sermon, the nobleman believed Jesus' word before he saw any miraculous evidence. This emphasizes that faith stems from trust in the Word, which reveals the nature, will, and promises of God (John 4:50). Moreover, the New Testament asserts that the message of the Gospel is the means by which individuals come to faith (Romans 10:17), suggesting that the Scriptures surpass miraculous signs in establishing a relationship with Christ. Mature faith relies on the unchanging truths of Scripture instead of fluctuating experiences, thus securing a believer's assurance in God's promises through Christ.
