Hebrews 2:4
Hebrews 2:4
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
This verse highlights the importance of signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The verse emphasizes that God confirms His message and His messengers through these extraordinary manifestations. As believers, we have been called to share the gospel of Christ with others. However, the task can seem daunting, especially in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to the message of the gospel. In such times, it is important to remember that God is with us, and He confirms His message through signs, wonders, and miracles. We need not rely on our own abilities or eloquence but trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to work through us. The Holy Spirit still empowers believers today with various gifts that enable us to serve others and share the love of Christ with those around us. It is not our own strength, but it is the power of God working through us that produces fruit in our lives. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are essential for the growth and edification of the Church, and we should desire them earnestly. When we operate with these gifts, we demonstrate God's love, power, and grace to a world in need of hope and salvation.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
