How can I be generous and what will it bring me?

How will I know if money is the source of my confidence?

How will I know if I love money more than God?

The glory of God will be fully displayed when he raises from the dead all who have trusted in Jesus. This great hope comforts the souls of all who wait on God to fulfill his promises.

God performs miracles in order to display his works which reveal his character, nature, and purpose. He does not perform them on the basis of the worthiness of the recipient, since none are ultimately worthy.

Jesus is sovereign and performs miracles to bring his disciples through the chaos of the current corrupted creation in order that they might fulfill his mission and eventually inherit the new creation (v. 21).

Ephesians 5:1-2, 18-21

God's miraculous salvation through Jesus is sufficient to satisfy the needs of all who hunger for God and righteousness, even as his miracle of multiplied fish and bread satisfied the hungry multitude (v. 11).

God sometimes performs miracles to deliver people from the consequences of their sins (v. 14). In essence, this is what God has done in raising Jesus from the dead.

God's miracles are important for spreading the gospel, since some people will not believe in Jesus unless they see signs and wonders (v. 48).
