Does God still do miracles?
Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
New International Version (NIV)
The answer
Yes—God still does miracles. The God who performed the mighty works recorded in Scripture has not changed: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). His power is not confined to biblical times or to any one period of history.
God’s character and power do not change. He declares, “For I am the LORD, I change not” (Malachi 3:6). He is “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,” the One “which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8). Creation itself will change, “but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail” (Hebrews 1:12; Psalms 102:27-28).
God remains the giver of every good gift. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). The unchanging Father remains able to heal, deliver, provide, protect, and save according to His wisdom.
Miracles remain God’s sovereign works, not human techniques. Scripture gives no grounds for demanding a miracle, guaranteeing immediate healing, or accepting every claimed wonder as genuine. God acts according to His own good will and for His glory. Needs can therefore be brought to Him with trusting prayer, without making one particular outcome the test of His goodness or faithfulness. The Lord who worked powerfully then is the same Lord now.
