(Exod. 3:20; 34:10; Judg. 6:13; Ps. 78:11; Dan. 6:27; Acts 2:19, 22; 4:30; 15:12)—works beyond human power or art, accomplished by the almighty power of God. Scripture recounts many wonders performed directly by God or through persons whom He chose. The source defends miracles against materialism, pantheism, and deism and argues that theism—the confession of a living, almighty, wise, and good Creator distinct from the world—makes divine action in creation intelligible.
