The following is an article dealing with the subject of purpose of God performing miracles in this world.
What is a miracle? Miracle is a sudden act of restoration of God's plan for man in this world.
Why should God do a miracle? People in this world, over the period of living in sin continuously, have become hardened to truth regarding righteousness and godly-discipline There are people in this world, who think they have no deal in obeying a superior power. They are popularly called as the rebels. People in the entertainment industry make money by introducing showy features in this subject. I think miracle is the best way to show them God exists and they have to obey Him in order to enjoy higher benefits and superior intellectual understanding. To kids it is better to slap on their face when they rebel, but think about people who are of more age than yours and still are of no understanding!
How can we say God is establishing His plan for a man in his life? Men are prone to make mistakes and God is still concerned for them!
Now concerning the purpose of miracles is,
1. To make believe God is alive.
2. God is powerful.
3. Prove the word of God.
4. Confirm the prophet or miracle-worker, truly a God-send.
5. To heal people.
6. To comfort people.
7. To warn people.
8. To make the [worldly] wise confounded.
The above is rather an exhaustive list, but here is one which is short-listed to make things easy.
1. To heal people.
2. To comfort people by supplying their need.
3. To warn/prepare people with respect to teachings of the Bible.
4. To make the [worldly] wise confounded.
Why should God heal people?
Nobody will listen to God if they have fever or a burning stomach. A cancer patient will listen to any teaching (even a teaching on divine healing), if he first gets rid of the pain in his body.
Why should God comfort people by supplying their need?
Nobody in this world dislikes safety. Everyone is aware of the dangers in this world, even unbelievers for that fact. Since the government has not eliminated thieving completely, people go for updated computer-based technology for keeping their home safe. They would purchase a high-costing element, if they find trustworthy, to keep their costly goods and equipments safe. Similarly, people would rather choose safety while they live in this world, to believe in the teachings of the Bible.
Why should God warn the people?
Where there is no vision, people perish. If there is no knowledge available in easy-reach method, they would suffer. They would embrace death, only for lack of knowledge. Performing signs and wonders will open the eyes of those worthy of the kingdom of God who would not believe otherwise. If people do not understand the value of reading the Bible, they will not be redeemed.
Why should God confound the wise?
There are a few people who think they are geniuses. They think they know every thing. They may be geniuses in the worldly realm, but God will perform signs and wonders to draw them too to His kingdom.
