We walk by faith, not by sight.

Blessed are those who believe without seeing.

If God’s say so, His WORD, is not enough, then no miracle will make a difference. Think the rich man and Lazarus who wanted Abraham to send Lazarus back to warn his brothers.

Abraham responded that they had the Law and prophets. When the rich man responded that they’d listen if they saw a miracle, Abraham said that if they did not believe the Law and the prophets for themselves, then they would not believe even if someone rose from the dead.

No miracle is capable of convincing someone who doesn’t want to believe. And someone who wants to believe will believe anyway when they hear the word.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

I agree. We are not discussing miracles to have faith in Jesus. Everything about Jesus is a miracle. We are discussing miracles that have happened since then.
