Positioning Yourself for a Miracle, part 3

As Christians, we serve the miracle working God.  We serve the God with whom nothing is impossible.  We serve the God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever more.  We find throughout the Scriptures miracle after miracle after miracle.  Around us today, we need only look to see the miraculous.  We can expect and experience the miraculous in our own lives.  One of those interesting questions raised in an earlier blog -- is there a greatest miracle?

Yes, I believe there is.  Now your question may be, really, what is it?  I'm glad you asked.  The greatest miracle is a gift, a gift that only God gives.  It is a gift that, according to the Word of God, is without repentance or irrevocable (see Romans 11:29).  The greatest miracle is a gift that is undeserved. It is not something that we have to work for or that has to be earned.  We don't have to be either good or clean enough to receive it, nor be either bad or filthy enough to not receive it.  No matter how little your faith, God has given you enough faith to receive this miracle.  Maybe, you've figured out what the greatest miracle is.  Or just maybe, you're still pondering over it.

Well, I believe that the greatest miracle is the gift of salvation which leads to eternal life.  Ephesians 2:8-9 -- "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast."   This miracle gift opens the door to everything that we need for life and godliness. It is through this single, solitary gift that we may receive God’s great and precious promises, and experience the miraculous.  And the gift of salvation opens the door to eternal life.  Romans 6:23 -- "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Receive the greatest miracle of all.  Read Romans 10:9-10 -- "That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
