The Bible is filled with stories of miracles—divine acts that defy human understanding and natural laws. What is impossible for man is always possible for God. Jesus Himself declared:
“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26 KJV)
God’s power is limitless, and His miracles reveal His sovereignty over creation, time, nature, and even life itself. Let us explore some of the most astounding miracles in Scripture that prove the impossible is possible with God.
1. Creation: The Miracle of Everything from Nothing
The very existence of the universe is a miracle. God created everything by His spoken word:
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 KJV)
Human understanding cannot grasp the depths of this miracle. Scientists study the origins of the universe, but the Bible makes it clear: everything exists because of God’s divine power.
2. The Parting of the Red Sea: Deliverance Against All Odds
When the Israelites were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea, their situation seemed hopeless. But God made a way where there was no way:
“And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.” (Exodus 14:21 KJV)
God delivered His people through an impossible miracle, proving that no situation is too difficult for Him.
3. Water from a Rock: Provision in the Wilderness
As the Israelites journeyed through the desert, they had no water, and their survival seemed impossible. But God provided supernaturally:
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.” (Exodus 17:5-6 KJV)
God not only provides in times of need—He does so in miraculous ways.
4. The Sun Stands Still: Authority Over Time
Joshua and the Israelites were fighting the Amorites when Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still so they could win the battle. God answered:
“And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.” (Joshua 10:13 KJV)
This miracle shows that God has power even over time itself.
5. The Virgin Birth: A Savior Conceived by the Holy Ghost
The greatest miracle of all is the birth of Jesus Christ. A virgin conceiving a child is scientifically impossible, yet it happened according to God’s plan:
“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Matthew 1:23 KJV)
Through this miracle, God made a way for humanity’s redemption.
6. Feeding the Five Thousand: Provision Beyond Limits
With only five loaves and two fish, Jesus fed a multitude:
“And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.” (Matthew 14:20 KJV)
This miracle teaches that God multiplies what we surrender to Him, turning scarcity into abundance.
7. Walking on Water: Authority Over Nature
When Jesus walked on water, He demonstrated His power over the natural world:
“And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.” (Matthew 14:25 KJV)
This miracle reminds us that faith in Christ allows us to overcome the impossible.
8. Raising the Dead: Power Over Life and Death
One of Jesus’ most astonishing miracles was raising Lazarus from the dead:
“And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes.” (John 11:43-44 KJV)
God’s power is not limited to healing—He can restore life itself.
9. The Resurrection of Jesus: Victory Over Sin and Death
The greatest miracle of all time is Jesus’ resurrection:
“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” (Matthew 28:6 KJV)
Through this, Jesus defeated sin and death, granting eternal life to all who believe in Him.
10. Salvation: The Greatest Miracle for Every Believer
The most personal and significant miracle is salvation. A sinner being transformed into a child of God is a miracle beyond human capability:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV)
No human effort can achieve this—it is purely the work of God.
Conclusion: With God, All Things Are Possible
Every miracle in the Bible reveals that nothing is impossible for God. When faced with challenges, we must remember:
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37 KJV)
God still works miracles today. Whether it’s a healing, provision, protection, or salvation, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Let us trust in Him, knowing that the impossible becomes possible through His mighty power.
