What is the greatest miracle of all?
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Jn 3:16 NRSV
What is the most amazing miracle?
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2
… AND …
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy ...Jude 1:24 (NKJV)
But does that mean we should not desire lesser miracles like healing and prophecy?
The Bible teaches us we should earnestly desire God's supernatural blessings here and now!!

In Matthew 17, the disciples of Jesus failed to heal a sick boy because they could not cast out a demon. Jesus was not pleased. Jesus himself thought healing was important and He has not changed.
What is the greatest thing in the world?
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Co 13:13 NKJV
If Love is the supreme good, what value should we place on miraculous gifts?
Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy. 1 Co 14:1 NRSV
A complete and balanced Christian life is a life of love and practical kindness but we must not forget that salvation is supernatural from start to finish.
We must not and dare not neglect to manifest the supernatural power of the love of Jesus.
Miraculous spiritual gifts are not necessary for salvation. All you need is to trust in the love of Jesus and the message of salvation. But in another sense, supernatural Charismatic gifts are essential for salvation, for the salvation of others.

Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” Jn 4:48 NKJV
...and so it is today. Millions of people will never believe unless they see our faith, hope and love confirmed by miraculous spiritual gifts, such as prophecy and healing.
