No they don't. Compassion is an essential attribute of God. God is a God of compassion, and would be even if no miracles were ever done.atestring said:Mircles have everything to do with God being compassionate.
True, the very reason that miracles are not needed.God uses people to reveal His compassion.
Miracles, per se, have nothing to do with God's nature, though he is a God of miraculous. He is not required to do miracles for us.It is not a matter of wheither miracles are required but it has everything to do with God's nature which is the fact that God is Love.
Faith has nothing to do with miracles. If it is not God's will for a miracle to happen it doesn't matter how much "faith" you have. No miracle will happen. Don't try to command God to do something that isn't his will.The other factor involved is Faith and without it we can not please God.
If God's Love is in our lives and we have God pleasing faith miracles will be part of the kingdom of God.
That is a logical fallacy and an unbliblical statement. To say that if God doesn't do a miracle makes God an uncompassionate God is bordering on blasphemy. It is like the little child who says "God if you don't give me what I want for Christmas I am never going to believe on you!!" Who is God that he should succumb to your demands??Anyone that would say that miracles have passed they would be saying that God no longer has compassion.
Do we need miracles? NO.
All that we need from God is his grace.
God said to Paul: My grace is sufficient for you," and would not miraculously heal him (heal the "thorn in his flesh" --2Cor.12). His grace was sufficient. We need nothing more than his grace.
An evil and adulterous seek after miracles. They don't need them. They need the gospel. Why say, "We need miracles" when Jesus said plainly we don't need them, and the people that say we need them, are evil and adulterous.
If God were just he would cast us all into Hell for all eternity. That is what we deserve; nothing more. It is only because of his grace and his infinite love that he sent his son to die for us. But he didn't have to do that. He is our Creator. He is the potter; we are but clay in his hand. He can do what he likes with us. We being the sinful creatures we are, don't deserve his grace, but he showers us with his blessing day after day anyway. And if perchance, there happens to be an occasional miracle in there, it is only because of his grace and nothing more. We don't need them. We need his grace.
