God is Still a God of Miracles

Moroni wrote this as what he thought would be the last thing he wrote to future generations. It seems he really wanted to make it clear that God is an unchangeable God, and since He has done miracles in the past, He can (and does) continue to perform miracles now. So he chose to address his words to those who don't believe that God still performs miracles today.

"And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not do many mighty miracles? And there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands of the apostles." (Mormon 9:18)

He essentially says, we know that there were miracles performed. We have a record of them. 

"And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles." (Mormon 9:19)

I love this concept. The fact that even God must play by the rules. If He didn't, He would cease to even be able to be God. So if He is unchangeable, and He's performed miracles in the past, He can perform miracles now or else that would constitute a change, making Him changeable, which would mean He ceases to be God. As Moroni points out, though, He doesn't cease to be God, and therefore He must be able to perform miracles.

There may be some who hadn't experienced the miracles that could be brought about, which might lead them to believe that God doesn't do them any more. Moroni had this to say to those people:

"And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in whom they should trust" (Mormon 9:20)

There may be periods of time that God doesn't perform as many miracles as He has in the past. However, this is because a miracle is usually a 2 way thing. The power comes from God, but He doesn't just do it whenever. It is usually in response to some faith-filled believer. This is a crucial thing for miracles.

"Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth." (Mormon 9:21)

I personally believe in and have experienced miracles in my own life. I've seen them. Lived them. It's pretty amazing when you understand that some of God's power was used to bless your life. He loves us so much and I feel that love in the divine experiences that I have had in my life. And I love Him. I hope I can always be a believer and follower of Him.
