The miraculous is necessary; it is not optional. Paul could not have said,
“I fully preach the Gospel,” if he had not demonstrated the power of God. Paul writes: And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:1–5
We have a choice: Are we going to put our faith in the wisdom of human beings or in the supernatural power of God? Those who put their faith in education and learning never have a solid foundation for their faith. Those who have tasted the power of God by personal experience, however, have seen the verification of His Word.
They know personally the One in whom they have believed. I have seen this demonstrated again and again. Real faith must be based on the supernatural power of God. In the last resort, the intellectual approach will always undermine the faith of God’s people. This is precisely what has happened in the Church for many decades.
Many intellectually trained professors and seminarians are perfectly sincere, but, as Billy Graham said, it is possible to be sincere and be sincerely wrong.
God has not asked the ministers of the Church of Jesus Christ to sit in judgment of the Word of God; we are to demonstrate it. The Gospel is not a set of theories; it is the remedy for human need. When humanity sees their need met through the Gospel, then they will obey it. THE GOSPEL IS TO BE OBEYED AT ALL COSTS, PERIOD.
