2. Miracles Supernatural events are recorded throughout the Bible. For example, God intervened in history by parting the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21), by healing the sick (Luke 9:11), and by defeating enemies (2 Kings 6:8-23). Miracles are reported today. How can miracles provide guidance Suppose a terminally ill person promises God to serve him as a minister if he is miraculously healed. So God heals the person. The person then keeps the promise, and enters the ministry. Perhaps God used the illness to lead the person into the ministry. In the Bible, God used miracles to bring people to greater faith. Seeing the power of God, people were sometimes led to trust God in a greater way— to follow Him more closely. See John 9:25,35-38.
